Hello all!

I own an E46 320d tourer that is due some new anti roll bar bushes and drop links.

The bushes in place now have a 1mm gap all round the bar, not ideal, the body roll is hideous.
I'm replacing both bushes and bar as my bar is corroded heavily and I picked up this bar and bushes cheap!

Easy job, I just need to know if a thicker (24.6mm vs 22.5mm) bar will make any difference to driving feel?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, it will roll less.
But at the expense of more understeer?

Thanks for the replies! I was curious more than anything. I don't drive my car to the limit, merely spirited drives at times.
I'm only replacing the arb as the current one is FUBAR.
