Eibach vs stock front sway bar

Is there a difference? They're both listed as 27mm. Is the Eibach stiffer even though it's the same diameter?

It should be stiffer, but that may not be a good thing.

Depending on what you want from the car you may not want stiffer.
A stiffer front anti-roll bar = more understeer.
A stiffer rear anti-roll bar = more oversteer

I have just the Eibach rear bar installed and the car feels good.
The back end will kick out if try... especially in the wet.

Kinda neat on a FF.

That's what I was thinking. If the front bar is the same, I could just buy the rear. So after reading a gazillion posts, I found out that the front is hollow like the stock bar but is a little stiffer because the bigger wall thickness. I'm looking for a more neutral feeling so both front and rear will do.

Thanks Dan
