I'm using the middle size bars on my Baja front and back, works for me anyway.....i'd say put the 1 you have on the rear, should stop some roll when powering out of a corner, put on the front if your going to brake hard into corners as again it would help the body roll....well thats how i would use..;)

no youve got it all wrong he wants to stop it rolling off the shelf its got so much polish and tyre shine it needs chocks under the wheels to stop it sliding off its shelf :lol::lol:
 
its down to the bling mate his camera cant take pics due to the polished alloy and something to do with the flash blinding him

and he can put it all right with just one pic of his cars dirty not dusty but dirt mud and crap
 
Realy front and rear are both important, If you fit the sway bar to the front only it will stop the inside front wheel from lifting in cornering and give you better turning traction.

Sway bar fitted to the rear only would stop the inside rear wheel from lifting in cornering and give you better rear grip and less unwanted wheel spin

So basically you get less body roll and better handling either way you go but ideally you should fit them to front and rear for maximum handling.

Choosing the thickness of the sway bars is realy up to you i say try them all and choose the size your most happy with generally the thicker they are the less body roll..

To find the best handling setup with swaybars also comes down to shocker setup....... also you'll be amazed how much sway bars can help in a straight line

Troy, we're talking about a Keith shelf queen here.
It could be made of carbon fibre composite - or some form of composite material like Corvette leaf springs, as it'll LOOK better and could even justify an individual spotlight!! :rolleyes::lol::cup-1::w00t:

Sorry Keith!!
Just messing with you!
