AWD Sway Bar thread

[DSMAZDAGTR]

I am not sure if an off the shelf 18mm sway bar will be enough of a difference over the factory 16mm sway bar, or if a custom 20mm adjustable bar from Selby's would be too much! Would I be going too far with 20mm considering it's a road car, not a track car? Since its adjustable, will I have enough flexibility to select a softer 'setting' ?

So, what's the behavioural differences between 16mm, 18mm adjustable or larger rear sway bars? I'd love to hear other's experiences on an AWD Magna/Verada.

I'd be interested in knowing the differences different swaybars make to the handling, as when I get around to buying one, I'd like to get the best size I could.
Is "the biggest you can get" the best for our cars or is there some point that is the 'sweet-spot'??

I suspect that the rear bar, if not adjustable, should be 20 mm in size.
I have the adjustable 18 mm bar on the hardest setting as it suits my driving style.

If you are always going round roundabouts or going through traffic calming!! slaloms or driving on nice windy country roads then this works great.
