stock sway bars weight !

Well thinking on installing Racing Beat Sway bars but I believe that those sway bars may be a lot heavier than stock. Specifically,

RB sway bars
9.7 lbs front,
3.1 lbs rear.

Does anybody knows the weight of stock sway bars in order to compare?

OEM sway bars
???lbs front
???lbs rear


Also I am thinking of OEM suspension with RB swaybars. Do you think that this combo will have any problems? or will not perform well?

Thanks

Front sway bar 6.3lbs (didn't see the rear in there).

Thanks ^. However there is no weight for rear sway bar.

For the front the difference is so small only 3.4 lbs heavier

RB sway bars - OEM sway bars
9.7 lbs front - 6.3 lbs front
