    Thicker swaybars allow you to reduce body roll, while not sacrificing ride comfort. They're a good alternative to linear springs.

    If you go too thick in the front, you get understeer - too thick in the back, you get oversteer.

    eg: I like my car to tend toward oversteer in heavy cornering, as IRS isn't as twitchy as live axle, so I run a stiffer rear end. If you prefer a little understeer, tune a stiffer front end.

    28mm is a good step up for the front on VS sedans (24mm usually I think).
    Wagons use 26mm std.
    If you find it understeers with the bigger front bar just go a size bigger on the rear.
    Rear bars for solid axle VS's are cheap to pick u in various sizes from most wreckers (any from VB-VS all fit).
    Rear IRS, can't tell you, don't know.
