I know its not much but the touring bar is 18mm vs our 17mm coupes and sedans. Anyone think the performance would be worth the trouble to source it?

I found one of these for a great price on ebay.de and picked it up. Part number is 31351136417 and it comes with the swaybar mounting bushings which aren't sold in the US. Has anybody on here upgraded their car with one? I am hoping to reduce some of the body roll with the stock height front springs.
Everythign I read says the stiffness should increase according to this formula (new bar diam/ old bar diameter)^4.
So (18/17)^4 = 1.257 = 25% increase in stiffness. Will followup when it arrives and I install.

No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

Let me see if I got this straight.
with (21/17)^4 I get 2.33. does that mean a 21mm bar is 133% increase?
I suck at maths.
