For torsion, the center of the bar contributes very little to the effective stiffness. Hollowing out the bar results in more weight savings than lost torsion.

So after my terrible defeat at the hands of a Mini this weekend, I decided to follow their lead and adjust the toe on the rear of the car just to see what happens.

Well holy cow what a difference low speed turn in is so much better, but man it sucks to drive on the street so twitchy.
