A sway bar is used to provide roll resistance and the term is used loosely to describe a general purpose or handling bar. Anti-roll bars tend to be very large and are intended for drag racing applications to eliminate body roll and promote "leaving" straight and flat.
True drag anti-roll bars like our 2245 are very aggressive for a handling type car but of course can be used on the street with caution. The large amount of roll resistance tends to make a car oversteer.
Our 22mm rear provides just enough roll resistance to balance nicely with our 35mm front to provide a true handling bar set.
Increasingly common is the 25mm (1 inch) adjustable arm length bars where roll resistance can be changed from soft to middle to firm. These bars provide street/handling/junior drag all in one.

The 35 is a handling and street bar. There is no particular benefit to running it on the front of a drag car. There may be a slight detriment due to nose weight and friction which would prevent quick weight transfer to the rear. Drag racers often disconnect their end links or remove the bar altogether to gain that last few hundredths.

The 2113 and the 2245 fit in the exact same location. The 2113 is a handling bar, the 2245 is an anti-roll bar.
