    i dont know anything about your specific application, but NO, BIGGER IS NOT BETTER, to a point bigger is better yes... however there is a point at which a bar becomes to big for the stock springs (or aftermarket for all that matters), if you just go around putting bigger bars on a car then you can very easily cause a car that will handle very bad (even dangerously) if you just mix and match suspen components..

    im running a 31 MM bar (stock was 17M) on the front of my car , and a stock 19MM bar on my camaro, people told me this was not a safe thing to do (they said that it was too big of a front bar for the small rear one), however i like the way it handles , the back end likes to creep around a bit, and after i did more research a lot of sutoXing people do this to help em get around tight turns.

    generally if a company offers a set then they will be safe to use together

    also dont forget to get a good set of bushings and endlinks, rubber ones will flex too much. IMO there isnt much of a point in upgrading bars unless you get a harger bushing, im running energysuspension componenets right now, but if i ever change them im gonna go with Prothane... they make quality mounts that are a bit softer than ES so you dont feel as much of the road , but they are still rather stiff

    hope that helped a little

      The ones that pfyc sells are the same diamiter as the stock ones, they are just sold insted of having the hole in the middle.
      The ones Mantapart has are actualy bigger but make sure to email them and ask how long it will take for them to ship.
