Depending how it's constructed, I don't see what's wrong with it. Being ASR, it should be good. It may be cheaper to get get a used ITR rear bar and repaint it.

Re: hollow sway bar?!
The majority of the stress in a sway bar is concentrated near the outside surface, so hollow is what you want. A solid sway bar is not an efficient design with regards to its stiffness vs. weight.

good thread covering this... https://honda-tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes-54/sway-bar-question-hollow-vs-solid-2302468/
it may not be the exact chassis or setup you have, but the principles still apply. (especially in the tech article posted by Tyson)
