Seeking sway bar advice

It is pretty much accepted that our cars cannot run too much front bar. The biggest bar available is through Doran Racing followed by the Hotchkiss bar.

There are lots of bar choices. Be careful as biggest doesn't always mean stiffest. Hotchkis is a hollow bar. There are solid bars that are likely a little smaller but just as stiff. Progress makes a bar that I use that is same diameter as Hotckis but its not adjustable. I believe Hotchkis bar is adjustable. It's also fairly inexpensive. doran stuff is one off and hard to get. More for serious track car use. I can say my progress bar has been very good even without adjustability.

Your right. I should have said "stiffest" not "biggest."

Resipsa, are you running only a front bar, or both. Do you autocross, and if so, do you get understeer? Thanks.
