Question, currently I have a Cusco adjustable rear anti-sway bar and am considering replacing the front anti-sway bar with either a 20 or 22mm Whiteline front anti-sway bar. Which size would you use?

What's the part #?
I'm pretty sure I'm running the BSF20. I like how the car is balanced out.

Yep, the part # for the 20mm front bar is BSF-19

I'm quite satisfied with my 20 mm front bar w/ endlinks. Are you turbo?

BSF-18 is 20mm for BC/BF turbo
BSF-18X is 22mm for BC/BF turbo
BSF-19 is 20mm for BC/BF non-turbo
BSF-19X is 22mm for BC/BF non-turbo
I have the 20mm on the front and BSR17XZ adjustable (18-22mm) on the rear. It's a really really nice package and I highly recommend for anyone to upgrade swaybars.
Bars are quick to install, fairly cheap, and can be easily removed and sold separately if you sell the car. Plus, as far as suspension mods go, there are very few downsides to stiffer swaybars. They have really transformed the handling of my car, especially in combination with the other suspension tweaks I've done.
I wouldn't mind having the 22mm on the front if the rear bar were 20-24mm adjustable. It's nice to be able to tune the rear bar -/=/+ in relation to the front bar. Many people do just the rear bar, but I have to say that the first drive with the new front bar was a real eye opener- huge improvement in cornering flatness and "going where you point it" feel.

Agree---20 front bar and 20/22/24 rear. set at 20.
With standard height and rate springs--nice.

OK Guys, thanks for the input. I've errored on the side of caution and went with the 20mm instead of the 22mm since we had both sizes in-stock. It's on now, thank goodness we didn't have to remove the headers to get it in! I'll be leavin' the shop now in a few minutes to test drive it on the way home
I'll post pics later of install.
Kudos to all here at Leg. Central you guys are the most helpful for me and my ol' Leggy Wagon

I edited my post. I'm running the BSF20, which is apparently a 22mm.

just out of curiousity, how much is that 22mm?

I got it from Teagues. He's listing them for 169. So that's probably around what I got it for.
