Because my springs aern't of the aggressive type (Eibach Pro Kit progressive rate spring), I went with a modest rear sway bar upgrade, Suspension Techniques which is 19mm.
One side effect of the rear sway I noticed that I never heard about ahead of time was the car's steering becomes "twitchier". Just a small movement of the steering wheel kick the nose of the car left or right. It takes a little more effort/concentration to keep the car straight on a straightaway, nothing major though.

How big did you go up front??? Thats the bar that makes it REAL twitchy. LOL, yea it can get used too. Expecially once you realize how much better it can handle once pushed 8)Somehow I got used to it, lol. I don't even notice it anymore.

x2! Upgrading the front sway bar on an FF isn't that neccessary. FRs need to upgrade to reduce oversteer.My front sway is stock and I have no plans on changing it.
