Here is the link: http://www.whiteline.com.au/docs/bul...%20Swaybar.pdf

Page 5 addresses the mass issue and as we suspected only a portion of sway bar mass is considered unsprung.
Very nice discussion. So around 6kg (solid) versus 3kg (hollow) per sway bar, but only about 10% is unsprung weight?
BTW, my wild guess was on the money!
