Which Rear Sway Bar (RSB)?

Hey Guys, I can't seem to decide on which RSB to go with, I'm currently lowered with Eibach springs on stock struts, with adjustable rear control arms, 18" wheels (215/35/18) and a Dinan Front strut bar, so I'd appreciate any recommendations and why ! I'm looking for something for 99% street application and it is our daily driver. I'm considering the Alta 19mm but I'm not sure if that would give me enough of a noticable difference? As far as the 22mm bar I'm I splitting hairs here as they are they pretty much all the same? R-Speed seems to be well priced and I'm not looking for anything track or race, just wanting to improve things as I know this is pretty much a for sure upgrade, thanks in advance.

I'm running the RDR 19mm bar (middle setting) and it fit perfectly too.

Any chance your MINI will see snow covered roads? If so,
go with the 19mm.

I am not sure what that is going to matter since they are lowered and on 18's. We are stock suspension on R109's and have an Alta 22mm RSB. We will be using Ireland camber plates and H-Sport springs. I guess it really depends on HOW you drive. If you drive pretty spiritedly most of the time and to AutoX or track events, get the 22. If it is only on occasion, get the 19.
