tanabe sway bars

[FRpilot]

hi all. i bought and recieved a set of tanabe front and rear sway bars for s13. the weird thing is that the front set came w/ the rubber sway bar holders and brackets around them while the rear bars came w/ just the rubber but no brackets. the package was sealed when i got them. did i get a defect or what? anyone else ordered these barS?

im guesing you use stock endlinks also since the tanabe's didn't come with any. are these bars hollow? they kinda seem like it.

also, upon inspection the front bar is definitely worth it. its way beefier than stock, but the rear bar is only 22.5mm iirc. looking at it, it doesn't look that stiff. i guess the jdm hicas bar is a better alternative since its 25mm+ (25.5?) i also thought these bars were going to be powdercoated red, but they were gray..
