said it before but just to re-iterate i run the standard front bar and the whiteline adjustable rear and its spot on for the way i drive (spirited when possible)

from reading other posts is 28mm the best rear to go for?

depends on your style really - apparently the whiteline on its stiffest setting is equivalent to a 28mm bar (not 100% sure on this) but i've yet to try it out on that setting due to the crap weather

well its down to ur own liking really .... some said 25mm is enough and some prefer 28mm ..  jus like on coilovers some said hot tunning coilover is good but i been on a car fitted with hot tunning coilover and i didnt like it one bit never been in a car with such a bad ride .

so im going to assume that if you do like to 'have a drive' thicker is better = less body roll

to have a drive is not necessary to have the 28mm arb . my mate got the 28mm rear arb he also fitted kw v1 coilover and thats is quite stiff .... like rhyso said get an adjustable ones then u got best of both world ...
