92RSRUINER, i have spohn 1" rear swaybar, it's too much swaybar for the rear, end of story, unless you have a 40mm up front or a supper light weight v-6 it's just too much bar, if you want it send me an offer, it's almost brand new

, im using a 3/4" 19mm rear bar, 24mm was too much.
I used to ran the 36/25 and it was way too much rear bar, at least for my car. The car was too azz happy with it. Throttle oversteer was nuts and even under no brake/no gas turns, it oversteered. I went to a 24 and the car was much more balanced. I plan to try a 23 and 21 as well at some point.

I'll go against the grain here. I like more rear bar than most. I have an old (80's) Adams 1 1/8" rear, and love it. 36 front, Eibach's, poly all around. STB and sub frame conns.
I had a more "balanced" set of bars before (1 1/8", 7/8"). They were dull and dry by comparison.
