How big of a sway bar makes sense?

[SpenAfon]

I was looking at getting a 26mm sway bar but I saw that people say it is pretty thick for daily driving and to stick to a 20-22 but what would happen if i did get a 26mm. I am also gonna but a strut bar in the front without a front sway bar so would would change in drivability? Also would the car being that much stiffer in the back than the front cause any problems?

I had an experience the other night where my rear stepped out on me (driver error)

I'm curious myself, Are you looking at Whiteline or RV6?

Thats exactly what im afraid of happening is losing the rear. I was looking at whiteline.

Lol
it was an unexpected surprise although I didn't feel that the car was out of control.

I like to tell people to go with the biggest sway bars they can get if they only ever plan on doing mildly stiffer than OE spring rates. If you plan on doing coilovers with a lot stiffer spring rates, you can get away with OE bar size or slightly bigger aftermarket since you don't need to rely on the bars as much for roll stiffness.

The nice things about sway bars is they don't effect the ride quality so much as do really stiff springs.
