Yes they are avaliable, they were whitline but are now selbys.
They are 22mm rear and 24mm front

Goto a good suspension centre they should have listings,I doubt pedders.
Powerplant: Chipped stock ECU, 2044cc, 8.5:1, head intake enlarged and polished, exhaust manifold enlarged,
Balance-shafts eliminated, Intercooled, TC06 @ 10psi, 2.5" high flow exhaust system and dump pipe.

Refer to this post for a contact detail "http://forums.austarion.com/viewtopic.php?t=10127, they are adjustable too. One of the best mods you can do for handling for the price.

Jeepers. Does that equal double the effective width of the sway bars as a whole or double the torsional rigidity?

Two sway bars front and rear.

It was an experiment I did a few years ago. If it's good enough for every RX3 on the planet, it's good enough for me :)

Worked very well too, you can adjust the rate by moving the end mounts along the bars. Made a big difference and all it cost me was some nolathane type material, a couple of hours and two stock sway bars.

I would say torsional rigidity increased but to what extent I don't know and can't measure. It was a lot stiffer than normal. Car sat pretty flat when cornering. When the rear bar was adjusted to max(?) it became very oversteery so I had to back it off.

Yeah, the pics didn't come out...

Error message when using "view picture" from Seamonkey/Firefox:
The image “http://www.fr33z3.net/starions/Apr06/fr.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

I imagine it's the same for Exploder users.
