I searched the archives, but while the diameter was discussed, no one ever mentioned stiffness well enough to suit me. Aside from the the 36mm's being lighter, is it as stiff or stiffer than a 32mm solid bar (which is what I believe I have on my 85 IROC)?

The 36mm bar will probably be about the same as the 32mm bar (maybe a little less) due to the 36 being hollow. I opted for the 36 because of the 9 lbs. difference in weight.

Are you sure that the difference is 9 lbs.? I don't think that the whole thing weighs that much. I could be wrong though.
