I plan on changing out lower control arm bushings soon and considering a 27mm front sway bar too, while down there. I currently have the "Competition" 25.5mm rear sway bar on hardest setting, but worried I would loose the nuetral feeling the car has, by adding the 27mm front sway bar? I would like to get the stiffer "Race" 24.5mm rear sway bar to compensate for the bigger 27mm front sway bar. Any thoughts?
Or anyone try the H-Sport "Race" 24.5 Rear Sway Bar by itself?

 

Not following your logic here....25.5mm is bigger/stiffer than 24.5mm.

Do you have any complaints about how the car handles now? Any other upgrades?

H-Sport "Race" 24.5 Rear Sway Bar is semi-solid.
H-Sport "Competition" 25.5mm rear sway bar is tubular.
I have camber plates and the JCW suspension.
Transitions could be flatter, but not a huge complaint.

 

I would love to hear how you like a bigger front sway bar. I been thinking of getting one and just dialing my rear shocks to a slightly stiffer setting.

 

Good to know.

Well...I personally would put the front bar on and see if it works out okay with the rear bar you have. Even hollow that's still a fairly beefy bar, it might work out on a stiffer setting. Adding the new rear bar later is an option if it's not enough, and it's not to hard as I'm sure you know.

I will do this then see how it feels, maybe I'll set the front bar on soft setting and leave the rear on stiffest. If it has stock like understeer then I will try the stiffer Race bar.

So no one has tried the H-Sport "Race" 24.5 Rear Sway Bar?

 

Save some money and start by installing the front bar and seeing how you like it before investing in another rear bar. You'll more than likely be perfectly happy with how the car is after installing the front bar.
