Is there a noticeable diff. when installing the Comptech rear sway bar on the 6MT?
Ok, not sure if anyone has asked this before...
The 5AT comes with a 17mm rear sway bar (RSB), the 6mt a 20mm RSB and the Comptech RSB is 22mm.
All reviews say that replacing the 5AT's 17mm RSB with the Comptech 22mm RSB is definitely worth it!
Who has installed the Comptech RSB on the 6MT? Is it worth it? Is there a noticeable difference going from 20mm to 22mm? Also, if I install the A-Spec suspension and the Comptech RSB will the ride be harsh?
Thanks.

It is a very very subtle difference. I have installed it. It is not something you can feel on a regular basis, unless you are negotiating turns at very high speeds, where you might feel more stable and neutral with the thicker anti-roll bar.
Here is my review.

I think PoochKannInc is the only 6MT owner here to install the bar. I don't have it, but can contribute that a 22mm bar is about 46% stiffer than a 20mm bar - assumming the same shape and materials. That should be a difference you can feel. Whether it is better could be a subjective call. Some may like it, others not. I am very happy with how my car is handling right now and am hesitant to make any changes.

Also, about the harshness of the A-Spec suspension and Comptech RSB...I'll let you know by next Thursday (the 7th). That is when I'll be getting the suspension installed.
My guess it will not be too harsh at all (of course "harsh" can mean different things for different people).
