Forgot I had the GMT900 sway bar in the scrap pile still so I did some comparing to the new GMT800 Hellwig. As you can see the GMT900 is a few inches wider but all else appears the same.

Not sure if this is even useful info but it is info nonetheless.

I see Hellwig uses that same hammered finish that DJM uses. When I bought mine I remember checking the specs and they’re nearly identical. But they sure are heavy compared to stock, no comparison.

Your not kidding they are heavy! Double the weight easily. You think DJM and Hellwig sell the same bar? I really dislike the hammer finish it always seems to catch more dirt and road grime since its porous. So it will get the sparkly silver like the LCAs.

Not sure but the specs are nearly identical and they look exactly the same.

I didn't even realize DJM sold bars for some reason. Probably because their website is so bad. I wish I could see all the options lined up in person. Not even the Summit super stores can manage that.

I looked up the Hellwig rear sway bar on Amazon--https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003LFF20Y/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_NNmTEb4ZMXGNB
$364. Did you get it cheaper? The front bar is something like $242.

Hellwig is solid, factory is hollow.

Dang I thought I got it for about $300 I guess it was $360 then the 10% bumped it down to $330. I try not to keep track of my parts spending so I don't get sick.

For some reason you just made me want to cut the factory one in half and see how thick the walls are.

No need to cut- Look at the flattened ends.

Yeah but cutting stuff is fun
