Big Sky wrote this about the 19mm front bar:
As I do a fair amount of my driving on gravel, I've subscribed to the bigger is not necessarily better theory. I was running bigger swaybars front and rear and while I could effectively alter handling bias, the larger bars were a concern in the bumpy stuff. I have since gone to a smaller 19mm front bar in conjunction w/ the oe rear bar (20mm). This setup for me was a vast improvemnent in the gravel and as a bonus was quite good at speed- very neutral. Bodyroll is minimal (uprated springs STi RA). At low speed stuff (autox) however I found myself wanting a little more rotation- just a little. I knew the "big" rear bars had the potential to be too much and didn't want the hassle of changing out bars either. Then the lightbulb came on- GC8 bars, low and behold a unamed company from Japan offered a 19,20,21 adjustable bar (actually closer to 19.5, 20.5, 21.5). Now I have a rear bar I can set low for gravle duties, a middle setting for track and a high setting for autox (this one works!).
