If you go with a larger front bar, the car will handle better. Some people say that a larger front bar causes understeer, and a larger rear bar causes oversteer. I can't agree with that completely. The larger front bar does good things, like keeping the wheels more upright during cornering, which improves grip. Reducing body roll will make the suspension work better.

It's not very hard to change the front sway bar. I suggest you try it and see if you notice a difference. On my '90 244 with the 25mm front bar and 19mm rear bar, I have NO oversteer problems at all, rain or dry. If I want the rear end to slide in the wet, I really have to work at it to make it happen. As in, turn in sharply and stab the gas pedal. Otherwise, it just doesn't slide out. It still has understeer.
