It depends on the wall thickness of the bar and the shape of the bar, it's not just about thickness (shape restricted by stock end-links). I haven't used the Whiteline so I'm just going by the spring rate data I could find which could be wrong.

A tubular design of 35mm roughly translates to 32mm solid.
