Sway Bar Size Compilation

Front and rear from a 16 EB PP

Same tag on my front bar, my back one only has the bar code wrapped around it, the flap is missing.

Already listed but I thought some pics may be helpful. FN PP1 rear sway bar and rear sway bar from Ford Performance MagneRide Handling Pack M-9602-M. (The coating on the new bar appears thicker)

Adding pictures of the front bars. (OEM and new from the kit above)

Just keep in mind, these are just measurements which correlate to the spring rate of the bar. Bigger is not necessarily better and that's especially true for the rear bar.

Fixing an understeer by adding a bunch of rear bar is one of the least elegant ways of balancing the car and it's rarely the fastest way around a racetrack. I'm not saying, "Don't put a bigger rear bar on your car." I'm just saying that we need to appreciate that rear bars are a compromise which often reduce understeer, but with the tendency to significantly hurt power-on traction.

I have quite a bit of suspension work done and I'm running a 20mm rear bar off of a V6 car. My stock bar was 24mm, but it was too much oversteer for me. The lighter rear bar gripped it up a little bit without losing much response.

Most of the work I've done on the car is to reduce oversteer, not understeer.
