22mm is better than 19mm. It will reduce body roll much better than the thinner bar.

Well, in the rest of the automotive world in cars that don't have weak chassis problems, the terms "brace" and "tie" mean the same thing. When talking about the Beaks kit and similar, I prefer the term "reinforcement" to avoid confusion.

Ex:
Strut brace = Strut tie bar.

I heared if you had a 22 mm sway in just the rear. You would have way to much overstear and that you should get a front sway bar. Now where can i get just the front sway bar. I perfer a 00 si front sway but where can i buy them. I already have the rear.

Also i was thinking about getting LCA Prolly Omni Power and i was wondering will the ITR Sway or Tie Bar interfear with this and come in contact with the arms. even though i dont think it matters and why im Asking this question. Because i dont think the Sway bar hits the LCA. Thanks J.P.

But that's not where we are, so terms are different.

My comptech sway is adjustable, so you don't need a front swaybar. The main purpose of the sway is the stiffen the back to remove some of the horrid understeer that front wheel drive cars have. If you put a thicker bar on the front with the thicker sway in the back, it just cancels that all out.

The sway bar's endlinks connect to the LCA, if that is what you are asking. The only interference you need to worry about is a thicker bar interfering with certain exhaust piping.

The ASR kit uses a stock ITR sway bar which is 22mm.

My DelSol never came with a rear swaybar. Any addition to the rear will help with the understeer. I would like to know if the 22mm is the balanced choice…

If you have an aftermarket front sway thats bigger than stock I would go with a smaller rear sway, there is a high possibility of understeer.

So what's the difference between a tie bar, strut bar, c-pillar bar, h-bar, floor bar and a sway bar as far as functionality? absolutley nothing. They are all types of "braces" used for reinforcement of a chassis. All work together to create less body roll while turning hard.

I know that but there is a difference between a rear tie bar and a brace like the ASR. That's all that I was saying.
