Sway bar questions... I currently have a rollcage and...
am looking to install a sway bar.. I would like to find out if it makes a difference between the 19mm and 22mm rear sway bar with the rollcage installed? I am just curious if the stiffer rear from the rollcage will make a difference in which sway bar I choose? Will the sway bar act different due to the cage?
Should I go for the 19 or 22mm???
Thanks!

In a perfect world automotive engineers would like to isolate the deformation of the chassis/body...
and the movement of the suspension with road conditions and cornering, but of course they cannot. increasing the torsional rigidity of the body means that the energy normally dissipated by that deformation under heavy cornering loads must be transferred somewhere. Stiffere springs and sway bars tend to transfer much more energy to the chassis and cause more flex, so stiffening up the body may have the opposite effect as the extra force is transferred more efficiently with less used to distort the cars body. How much is anybody's guess. You are the guinea pig!

Yeah I was too lazy to paint it plus it looks great in red!!!...
I feel a big difference in the chassis stifness.. It really helps tie up the rear.. The ride is really harsh now on NYC street's
