The 240 Wagon's Rear Sway looks like 14 mm rather than 19 mm So I think I might be better with 21 MM of Turbo Sedan.
Does wagon have stiffer springs than sedan


I just got more confused .I am trying to summarize what I understand and for your scrutiny .
This throws more questions in my mind.

Oversteer :Rear end tries to break away and car turns more than you want to steer (Natural to RWD)
Understeer:Front tries to break away and car turns less than you wan to steer (natural to FWD)

In case of RWD Volvo
So if Front Sway bar is bigger than rear then Understeer will happen (Desirable than oversteer)
IF rear is bigger than front then oversteer will happen in a car which alredy oversteers which is going from bad to worse.


So one should go far front bigger and rear smaller.
How does absolute thickness affects ( ie present is 14 Rear and 19 front to 21 Rear and 23 front).
Does it adds overall stiffness to structure.
How does increase in difference affects ( 14 rear and 23 front or 19 rear and 23 front and 21 rear and 23 front)

Rather one question can be when the difference between front and rear bar dia decreases and overall bar dia are increased then what is the behaviour?

When you say bigger rear is fun Does it mean that more oversteer than stock is fun .

Can I conclude that even if I upgrade the front to 23 mm and let rear remain unchanged (ie 14mm) ,I should see +ve performance improvements.
