just wondering then, if im hearing that a stock sway bar is 16 mm or 17 mm, given the benefit of the doubt and just saying that the stock front sway bar is 17 MM and the whiteline is 20MM, how much of a difference can 3 mm make?

if not much, would it be more beneficial then to just "skip" this mod and take the 150 i was going to spend on this bar and get the front control arm bushing, and front and rear bushings from superpro?

lets just say that the TRD rear in one setting acts like a 18mm and the stiffer setting is equal to 24mm. A discussion before was that every mm adds a lot of stiffness since our setup is mcpherson strut all around unlike the honda guys with a much more rugged and sturdy double wishbone. Every bit counts. For bushings, there is an added crisp feeling, but it wont improve handling, only the feel of it.

Actually the rear control arm poly bushin' do help though, but the ride is a little more rough though.
I've noticed that the rear wheels don't skip on pavement like it used to wit the stock rubber bushin'.

Here is the stiffness difference going to 20mm:
From 16mm to 20mm: %144 increase
From 17mm to 20mm: %92 increase

A very little difference in diameter makes a big difference in performance with sway bars.

WORD! yeah, there was some type of performance measurement and difference percentage scale discussed before exactly like that.... i'm just too lazy to look. lol But yeah, MentatGom knows whats up.
