The aluminum looks really neat and feels light, but that is a lot of money for 2.5 lbs of unsprung weight. Finding lighter tires next time around would get a much greater unsprung weight reduction. Just my opinion.
you can get the bigger later bars to work with the early mounts, i have a 25.5 turbo bar in my NA using the factory sway mounts. did have to do some 'persuasion' on the outer bushings though. no problems in 4 years though.
