Never mind, I just figured out the math.

Assuming the 18mm bar has an effective rate of 126 LBS/IN (half way between the 117 LBS/IN of the 17mm bar and the 135 LBS/IN of the 19mm bar in position #1), then the rate increase over an 18mm bar would be as follows:

19mm Position #1 107%
19mm Position #2 131%
19mm Position #3 165%

22mm Position #1 198%
22mm Position #2 242%
22mm Position #3 306%

I'm really torn now. I wish I could drive one with each bar in the various positions.

Yeah it can be tough! Anyone local to you with a similar car with our bar? Or maybe post in the local club section on NAM and see if anyone close to you can help.

Let ME know if I can help in any other way!
