Front bar only or both?
Front bar only or both? Just did my first real auto x last weekend and I see that the stock bars aren't up to the task. If I just get a front bar will I be kicking myself for not getting the rear at the same time? I planned on getting the Strano hollow 35 front bar, and his matching 22 rear (I think it's a 22) but I have no clue what difference the rear will make. Anyone care to give me some pointers?
Ive had no real experience myself..but...from what Ive garnered from cruzing the boards the rear bar is "generally" sufficient but upgrading to at least the 1LE bar is considered a must do....
Having said that....Id prolly buy a front and rear install the front and have the rear just in case
Maybe Sam will chime in and pass along some pearls of wisdom

If you opt 32 in front, stay 19mm in the back. Our bars are 35 front, 22mm rear, both hollow. The front bar is some 30% stiffer than a "1LE" bar, and 45% or so more than the bar you currently have. The rear bar is some 33% stiffer than the rear bar you currently have. The front of the car needs more bar increase than the rear does, the front has a camber curve that needs controlled, the rear does not. The front of the car carries the majority of the weight, the rear does not. The rear is a solid axle and too much rear bar stiffness vs. the front makes the rear jumpy and skatey.....
