Can't imagine that it would make that much difference over stock.

Yeah, that's only 2mm larger than stock.....just pay for the 19mm and you'll be much happier.

Default I just installed a 16mm one this week, car definitely feels better.

It's not much bigger but it makes a difference. Stock rear measured 14.1mm, eurospec measured 16.3mm. By calculations that's 78% stiffer, making total roll resistance of the car about 15% higher (most of the resistance is in the front since the bar is 20mm).

I think it's perfect as it doesn't alter the handling drastically but definitely feels less "rolly" around turns - understeer is reduced a little too. I recommend this one if you're looking for a subtle but noticeable change. It's like someone else said "it feels like you fixed something that was broken."
