Question about sway bars.

I have an o6 evo 9 MR and am looking into getting a bigger rear sway bar. The car is lowered with Tanabe springs and has an H brace in the front. My question is what would be the best size sway bar to get?

Get both sway bars (front and rear).

Options are Swift, Robi, Whiteline, Cusco - to name a few.

Here is my review of the Swifts:

you don't want to get a big front sway bar at all if you get one at all will make it understeer even worse

yeah but generally the evo understeers so adding a front sway would make it worse

yeah, but some people slap on the biggest thickest RSB they can find - in order to mask the car into rotating best. When in reality they are slowing their overall speed or tripod'ing.

It's all a balance. But like SmikeEvo said, there's a lot of options. I've used the Hotchkis 25mm adjustable RSB myself. I believe the stocker is 23mm. Aftermarket sizes range from 24 - 27mm I believe.
