That's the truth. I thought about getting a 21 mm bar to match my solid 35mm bar in front.

The car handles so well right now that I'm putting off that purchase until I KNOW it would benefit me. I think a 21mm bar might be nice, but anything over that would be asking for trouble, especially with anything less than a 35mm bar in the front. I'll stay with the stock rear bar for now.

whoops somwhere in there it shoulda said the larger solid one is a huge improvement over the hollow factory one , sorry man my mistake,

anyways tho not much of an improvement teh solid ones tend to flexs less even tho u prolly wont be able to notice the diff

Re: different sway bars ;front and rear

25mm rear, wow thats huge! I removed my 21 because I was getting way to much oversteer while auto-xing. In tight corners, the rear would start coming around from corner entry. It was fun to drive, but not the fastest way to go. Part is due to the H&R's rear spring rate being quite stiff in relation to the front, but a 32/25 must be really twichy at the limit in tight corners. LastZ, I would suggest that you run just the 32mm front for a while and see how you like it because as mentioned before, alot of guys just run the 32/19 combo. That's what I'm running now and it feels balanced and is alot faster than with the 21 rear.
