Which Rear Sway Bar should I go with? 17mm, 20mm, or 22mm

I own a 2004 Base Automatic TL car is all stock with an addition of Tein Springs and 19" Volk CE28N wheels
From the little research that I have done looks like my stock rear sway bar is 17mm.
Should I just upgrade to a factory Type S sway bar at 20mm?
Or go with something like a CT-Engineering 22mm or a adjustable H&R 22mm???
Any input would be appricated

will you be upgrading your front sway bar as well? too big a bar in the rear will upset the way the car handles. not something you have to do, but something you should consider.

ill go with the type s

You can do a search, use my username if you want. I've writen a ton on this and it's not just a simple answer, there are some variables. Just as your car sits I would do the 22mm but search and you can see the reason why and make your own choice.

I have an 08 base TL and I went with a new factory type S rear sway bar. The car is nice and neutral and handles very nice. I am not planning on going to a bigger front bar.
All I bought was the type s bar and body bushings the metal mount clamps are the same, as well as the end links.

Thanks to all the guys for there input, Kev
