the level of your supporting mods will depend on how much of a difference you will notice. springs/bushings/tires/swaybar all work together. you will notice a difference if everything is stock, likewise you will notice a bigger difference if you have good supporting mods.

well that's pretty much your answer then. what are you trying to acomplish by getting a bigger sway bar? there may be other ways to do it. Like suspension tuning or changes in tire pressure

well there are many ways to make your car handle better. the best bet would be to save your money and figure out what you will gain by adding a rear sway bar and if that would benifit your car and your driving style. I can tell you right now if you want your car to handle better the best thing you can do is buy the best set of tire you can afford. The kumo spt's are a great tire for the money, and a good starting point in tuning handling. Figure out where you can make it better and go from there.

A bigger rear swaybar will not always equal better handling. A 23mm swaybar will create more oversteer... which to some people is not ideal. Unless you are experienced at autocross or do HPDE's it is not worth the investment in your case.... IMHO.

It depends on what *your* looking for. If your looking to try to get a lil less understeer then maybe its for you, but like the other guys said it works together as a package. Personally I think you should look into other options. A 22mm seems plenty enough.

Whats the rest of susp. setup like atm?

And is this going on your ITR or what? Chassis stiffness plays a part too.

Those are not spring rates.. IMO, you should stick with what you have. Play with the dampening settings.
