First thing I noticed is how light it is compared to solid one. Nice black powder coat finish. I'm currently running heavy duty Vette Brakes ones that came with the sport spring packages so I'm expecting major weight saving up front with no downside. Install should be straight forward although I'll cut the off the stamped together eyelets and install rod ends. Otherwise I expect it should bolt right in. I'll have pictures when it's done if there's any interest.

Got around to the front bar last weekend. Disappointed to find it also weighed only 5 lbs less than the solid bar even though it's a lot bigger than the rear. Rear measures 1.010 OD with 0.180 (0.690 ID) wall and the front is 1.263 OD with 0.250 wall (0.763 ID). Obviously picked up the torsional stiffness on the front.

I had cut the eyelets off the front solid bar, then drilled and tapped the ends for 1/2" rod ends. I expected to weld some tube adapters to the hollow bar to do the same but it's not going to be that simple. Addco pinched the tube closed and bent the bar right where you'd want to make the cut so it can't be done. The lever arms are a lot shorter on the front (compared to the back) so there's only a few inches of arm beyond the urethane carriers. I think the solution is to cut the hollow tube back a little further from the pinch point and weld in 3/4"x45 elbow with tube adapter to replace the factory bend. That job is going back on the list since it's installed with the eyelets and urethane bushings.

Good news is it's not a difficult install. With the wheels off, undo the 4 bracket nuts, the yoke bolts and out it comes from either side with a little twisting. Coating is a little soft and scratched a little on the bottom since I was doing it by myself. Should have taped the ends but it's not too bad. Also the carrier blocks are eccentric with the thick side mounted to the rear (pushing the bar forward). 

Have yet to do the road test and that will wait till few other things come off this spring's list.
