Speedelement has a sale going on right now (might be a newer thread out there but this is still kosher).
Opinions vary on bar size, but I'm driving a whole new car on a 24mm adjustable rear (still on softest setting). YMMV with the hatch though.
Thanks again for the jack crank btw, I keep looking for one but they seem to only come with full sets for some funny reason...

No problem at all and thanks for letting me know of the sale I'll be sure to call them. Never did a sway bar install but I'm hoping its not too hard. My hatches rear is really the culprit for why I want sway bars so I'm not sure if its smarter to do only rear or just softer on the front and like 24 for the rear.

Well I want to get rid of the over and under steer entirely. I dont do crazy driving at all, I just hate it when im on the freeway and my car tends to like to shift a bit and it feels a bit loose to me so if I tighten everything up shouldnt it get rid of it?
If in doubt, FLAT OUT

The rear is pretty simple to install. The front, not so much easy, at least on my car; haven't looked at the GH/GR.

Lol well next meet if anyone can give me a ride in the only rear and then one with both I'd love to see how it handles. Its just annoying when I drive and then suddenly I feel like my car is uneven. I've done an alignment and its all good but it still does it sometimes and its really annoying.

OR maybe someone else needs to get a ride/drive yours and see if something's not right. Almost sounds like it could be a power steering pump issue because what you describe is exactly what I had when mine went out while I was 1hr into a 2hr drive. Check the PS fluid.

Its not really a steering issue and more of how the car handles when going in a straight line. It'll suddenly just feel like I need to adjust the car because it isn't stiff enough or something. But I don't mind if someone sits in my car and sees what happens

What kind of tires are you on and what are the current tire pressures for those tires?

I am honestly not even sure I just go to firestone and get everything set to factory. Tires are the stock Dunlop Sp Sport 01. Tire pressure I beleive is 32 all around.

Are the tires pretty new or old? I didn't look at your car last night. How many miles on them if you know? They might be tracking the road, especially on the highways here. New tires often do and some tread patters just do that.
