The absolute last thing these cars need on it's own is a stiffer rear bar. They aren't front biased FWD cars that need help rotating, they're pretty well balanced from the factory.

You know there is something between A and Z, right? You also do realise things like tyres play a huge part into bar selection?
I did some track time last night with the 16mm rear bar on stock Michelin tyres. In a tight circle, 1st gear, the rear inside tyre is breaking traction. In a larger, 2nd gear circle it's not. That's probably more to do with the diff than the bar.
With stickier tyres on (i'll re-test with my AD08's) this effect will most likely be less, depending on roll angle.
It really depends on what you're trying to achieve. I've not stated that changing the rear bar is the right thing to do for everyone. But then not everyone in the world is doing 1/2nd gear auto-x events in American parking lots.
