I would suggest upgrading the front to a 35mm Strano bar, leave the rear be. The 35mm bar helps improve handling in those curves. 35mm costs a pretty penny, but I've never read a bad review on one. Me personally, I went with a 1LE 32mm bar because I got it for free. Put that on in place of the stock 30mm and I couldn't believe the diff 2mm made. It was slight, but it WAS there.

Thanks fellas. I am probably going to go with the Hotchkis now. I like the curves too much...

you have to ask yourself how is the present state of your car's handling.
is it neutral, understeering, oversteering ?
Which sway bars you have in the car ?
From the above answers, you can tell in which direction you want to go.
remember that swaybars aren't a thing of bigger is better... it's a balancing act of front/rear rates to have the car react as we want it to.Eugenio_SS

I did the Strano sway bar kit 35 front 22 rear and it is really good. From what I have all read the solid bars really are not better than hollows. I guess it's the out side of the bar that does the work and not the center.
