Which is for my car?

Hi guys, I am looking for suitable swaybars for my Cooper S which I now run with BBS LM ET40 and Bilstein PSS but my problem is after I fit the Brembo BBK I have to used the wheel spacers which are 10mm for each wheel. it means that now my front wheel is ET30. The problem is my front suspension now does not feel as hard as it should because of the wider front track.
Also soon I am planning to put the 5mm spacer on the rear wheels.
My front wheels are ET30 and my rear wheels will be ET35 because of the very much wider track. Which anti swaybar is suitable for my car to make my handling good? I really need help from you guys. Sorry for my poor English.
Thanks.

smokey- hard to tell from just offsets, but i can guarantee you that
you will want adjustable swaybars so that you can play with the settings.

i would say try the 22mm.

10 mm spacers are an oddity on a MINI. that is approximately the same depth as the hub centers. any problems centering/mounting the wheels?
