The front bar is 1 3/4" and the rear is 1". when you change the setting of the bar from hole to hole it changes the roll stiffness of the bar 10% each hole. its like changing the dismeter a mm in thickness. This is what HELLWIG says.
MSRP:
Front -55404- $367.50
Rear -55405- $233.25
they can be purchased through there online dealers:

Warranty info
We, Hellwig Products Company, Inc., give you, the original retail consumer, our warranty that each new Hellwig product of our manufacture shall be free from defects of material and workmanship as set forth in this limited warranty. Length of coverage: Except as provided below Hellwig offers the following warranty durations by products. (A) Hellwig steel spring and sway bar products and their components are warranted for the normal life of the vehicle these products are originally installed upon. (B) Hellwig Air Suspension systems, air sleeves, air bellows and air compressor systems are warranted for two years from the original purchase date. This extends only to the product installed on the original vehicle. A dated receipt will be required to be presented at the time of any warranty request. The warranty for any Hellwig product is terminated immediately and automatically when (1) you transfer ownership of the product to someone else (2) it is used for purpose not intended, whether with your consent or not (3) the product is installed on a second vehicle, regardless of when the second installation takes place. Because of these provisions, the warranty is not transferrable. Hellwig’s Obligations: Hellwig’s Obligations shall be limited to replacing or repairing, free of charge, any part or parts that reasonably appear to us upon inspection to have been defective in material and/or workmanship. You will be responsible for the cost of transportation charges and charges in connection with replacement or repair of defective parts. Warranty Exclusions and Limitations: This limited warranty does not cover the following, and you will be responsible for any costs or injury you sustain by reason of these things: Parts and labor necessary for installation, removal, reinstallation, vehicle modification, or any vehicle repair, service or replacement, regardless of cause; Any repairs or replacement of the product by anyone other than Hellwig at its Visalia, California plant pursuant to this warranty; Unreasonable use, failure to install or maintain the product properly, modification of the product or failure attributable to a defect in the vehicle; towing, fire, theft, environmental condition, or negligent, accidental or intentional damage or destruction; Any repairs or replacement if the product was used in a vehicle used at any time for delivery or common carrier service; Provision or reimbursement for loaned vehicles or parts for use while the product is being serviced; Incidental or consequential damages (that is, compensation for loss of use of the product or vehicle, inconvenience, lost profits, or any other indirect loss). Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation or exclusion any may not apply to you. Because installation and removal are not covered by this warranty, we recommend that you inspect the installation of each Hellwig product, especially sway bars and accessories springs, to insure that the product was installed safely and presents beyond a reasonable doubt no danger to any other part(s) of the vehicle such as brake lines, gas lines, sewer lines, or the chassis. How to Obtain Service: To obtain warranty replacement parts or repair, we must first be contacted by letter or telephone. Written or verbal approval will be given to you by an authorized Hellwig employee and you must then return the part to be replaced or repaired, at our option, freight prepaid, to our factory. The replacement part will be shipped within thirty (30) days following our receipt of the original part and, if requested by us previously, a freight charge or handling charge, or both. BE SURE TO OBTAIN OUR APPROVAL BEFORE RETURNING PRODUCTS FOR OUR FACTORY; THEY WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED UNTIL YOU OBTAIN APPROVAL. Important Provisions Regarding Your Rights Outside the Warranty: The duration of any IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY (an unwritten warranty sometimes imposed by law that the product is fit for ordinary use), if any or FITNESS FOR USE (an unwritten warranty sometimes imposed by law that the product is fit for a particular purpose), if any SHALL TERMINATED UPON TERMINATION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, or sooner if allowed by law. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty is the only express warranty, representation, or other agreement between you and Hellwig and it may be changed only in writing signed by a corporate officer of Hellwig Products Company, Inc

I wonder if you could install grease nipple fittings to the mounts. Can't really see if you have enough wall thickness to do so. That way you keep the urethane bushings lubricated. My civic squeals like a baby pig because I have those bushings in all of the suspension. The grease will eventually dry up. Nice looking piece

You will love these sway bars. My 350z was the test vehicle and those bars are duplicates of my original bars. I went from stock to stillen to hellwig. I love my hellwig sways. My 350z stays nice and flat in the corners and feels more connected.

Yes that is my 350z with the blue sways. I had them powder coast them that color. Its a nice offset to the SMB. The people there at Hellwig are super nice. I got mine free too since it was the test car and that I gave them my stock set of sways. Pretty nice deal. I also set them up with a 370z.
