i'm very happy with the swift front sway bar on my ap1. noticeable difference but the swift is designed not to be too stiff and adversely affect the car. you can read about it on their web page. i don't have as much oversteer anymore but if i am pushing it, it is still slightly biased to oversteer.

Just replace your rear to the 25.4mm. My time attack results has proven the setup works
Is that Ap2 rear 25.4mm bar or the alex racing rear bar?
What kind of material is the alex racing bar? Choromolly? Spring Steel?

Be ready for some oversteer with a bigger rear sway bar.
I though Ap1 rears are about 27.2mm or 28.6mm
If you have Ap1, I don't think is going to be a larger rear sway bar with the 25.4mm .

also, did anyone ever regret modding the front sway?

I think that's what AJpwR was talking about. Instead of a bigger front bar, use a smaller rear bar to balance it out. But I also thought the sway bars on the 02/03 AP1 changed to decrease oversteer (The OP has an 02?). Correct me if I'm mistaken.

I see comptech offers a front and rear combo swaybar package? Any info on this such as bar diameters and how they hold up for street use?

The muz bar is a whiteline, from what I know!

A note on the rear sway bar change recommended by AJ-PWR...you cannot change the rear sway bar and remain A-stock. The comptech piece is the priciest, but also the best, for autocross applications.

I'm running the Comptech Adj. Front at middle setting 202% stiffer...with a Cusco 30 mm rear and the change is unbelievable compared to stock....the steering response now feels like a giant go-cart.....and it has the feel as if the harder you drive it the more responsive and tighter it gets.....i can't wait now until my TEIN SRC's are installed this month so now i can get my cornering flat....you can see how much lift is in the stock suspension under hard cornering from 2 of my track pics below....thats why i still feel suspension is more important than sway bars....i should of done the suspension 1st.....then the sway bars 2nd.
