need some recommendations for sway bar sizes

If someone could please give me their recommendation on what size sway bars i should be running based on my current setup. i do alot of daily driving and often drive the twisties and plan to do some auto x in the near future..

my current setup:
Endura-tech coilovers spring rates are 5k 7k
front and rear strut bars
camber -1.5F/-1.0R
everything else is zero

Your spring rates are 7k front 5k rear right?

I'd do either 27mm front and 24mm rear Whitelines or 24mm Whitelines all around. If you autox a lot in STU, you'll like the 27 front. Otherwise I'd go with the 24mm bars front and rear.

We will also shortly be releasing our own swaybars if you can wait a little longer....see thread below.

I agree with andrew!! Go 24/24 but you can go 27/24 but most likely you will get the same feeling as stock(understeering) when going into a turn with the 27mm front SB and that would be overkill. Maybe if you were running drop springs, then you could run bigger FSB. Dont forgot bushing and maybe a front subframe to clean up & help reinforce the front.

It's hit or miss with handling. Might want to get adjustables. A little more expensive, but you can fine tune it for your preferences.
