Default 19 mm rear sway?

ive heard that for an :

ek - 26 mm front and 22 mm ( type r) rear sway bar is perfect.

i have an eg with a b series and a gsr front sway bar ( guessing its 26 mm or something) and no rear sway. im looking to get one sometime soon and was wondering if a 19 mm comtech sway would be better instead of a 22 mm because of too much oversteer? thanks guys

i was thinking of running a 19 mm or even a 21 mm instead of the type r 22 mm rear sway bar because of oversteer issues. why would i run 23 mm if its street driven? anyway, anyone try this setup? thanks

Well I've always thought that having a 26/22 would still have a certain amount of understeer partly due to the unbalance with the higher number in the front and lower in the back. If you wanted to you could go 22/22, which would make your car almost neutral and tend to oversteer more.

hmm, ok i want to install a sway bar. i have a gsr bar sitting around and the front gsr bar i have is 24 mm ( just found out). i would like to know from PEOPLE WHO HAVE INSTALLED REAR SWAY BARS ON THEIR HATCH as to which one is better. a gsr rear bar, a 19 mm rear bar, a 21 mm or a type r bar. i dont want too much oversteer. i dont want to have a tail happy car , but would like it to be a bit more neutral ( right now i have a front sway and not rear).
