shipping shouldn't be over 20 bucks. I wonder what his reserve is??? If you could score it for around 80 shipped it'd be a good deal.

The best deal going now is like 140 shipped for the Progress. Best bang for the buck next to Monroe struts.
Contrary to what you might expect, the difference between solid and hollow can be deceiving. (i.e. given similar materials and reasonable wall thinkness.)
Outside diameter has the greatest impact.
I did a quick calculation of the Polar moment of inertia (Ip) of the two bars mentioned.
Ip = [PI * (OD^4 - ID^4)] / 32
I assumed a 16mm ID for the hollow bar.
22998mm^4 for the solid
26138mm^4 for the hollow. (13.6% greater)
This illustrates that the 2mm increase in OD substantially increases Ip.
And the hollow bar is also lighter... and that's a good thing.
