thats the stock ws6 supension option rear size for thirdgens, it would keep the rear end more firm i would guess.

i run no front sway, stock use to be 36mm hollow i think; and i would at least use a stock rear 24mm sway bar for a drag/street car, even helps with handling also.

I think thats too big of a bar. Its going to help your rear end to slide out easier around curves. Sam I don't ever uses over a 21....

Autocrossers don't often go above 21mm, and many prefer the 19mm. Comparing the 3rd gen size with a 4th gen setup isn't quite fair. The bigger bar in the rear will break loose easier.

If you want to feel a difference before you purchase new swaybars, change your stock swaybar bushings for polyurethane bushings. If you change your rear bushings first your car will want to get loose easier. Then change the front bushings and it should make it the same as before though with more feel of the road. Then you might realize you do or don't want huge swaybars.
