Default 19mm or 23mm sway?

title pretty much sums it up. obviously, 23mm would be better, but im just wondering if it would really make that much of a difference for a DD. i mean, my car isnt hitting the rally stage, and if i can get by with getting the 19mm and feeling a noticeable difference in my understeer, than ill be happy. i just wanna know if the 23mm is worth the extra cost and weight by such a large margin on our cars that it a must-buy over the 19mm. thanks for all input.

I just put on my 27mm hotchkis rear sway only this weekend its my DD and i commute 30 miles one way. With the sharp turns here and there and i love it. Alot less body roll and understeer. Oh and the 27mm hotchkis is hollow compared to the 19mm and 23mm that you mention are probably solid. Good luck!

IMO go as big as possible. You will not notice the larger sway just driving in a straight line or making normal turns but when you want to have fun you can really tell the difference.

sure i can do that once i get it, and then after the install. i bought the 19mm. i know this will still help my understeer, and it was 139 shipped. the money i saved vs the 23 mm is going toward HIDs ;P
