I like my Eibach 22mm I have on the front right now... it's a really sweet complement to the S2 suspension. Once you get to that initial amount of roll... that's it, there's no more roll to be found.

If I had the money I think i'd go with H&R, they are beefier than the eibach, it totally depends on what sort of control your after.
Make your car too stiff and you may not like the outcome either.

I've got Eibachs front/rear and they seem great. Not race car stiff, but much of the roll is gone.

IMHO, don't waste your money on a front bar of any kind.
H&R rear sway bar and a rear strut bar if you do not have one yet is what i would suggest!
installing a bigger front bar and leaving the stock or in NOS's case, no rear bar, will only cause the car to PLOW in turns.
iirc eibach is 23mm?
not listed but actual thickness...

I agree with Mitch. Many people put too much emphasis on the size of the bars themselves, instead of the RELATIVE size between the front and rear bars.
Its the reason I went with the Progress 22mm rear bar alone. I wanted a tiny bit more oversteer, so I stiffened the rear only. Why throw more money at it than you have to?

It'll plow if you drive it to excess... sure. If you think you're Colin McRae or Emerson Fittipaldi... yup, you're gonna understeer right off the flamin road!
In every day driving and quick maneuvers... it's fine the way it is. :rolleyes:
Just wanted to get that out there.

If you only go with a stronger rear bar, however, be prepared for more oversteer. Maybe that's what you want, but maybe not.
The front is a total pain-in-the-ass to replace, but if you go with a kit you will should get a nice balance. Mine is almost completely neutral when pushed hard, with a tad of controllable oversteer.
