Did you run only the rear bar on your car? Just curious as I don’t see the front bar available for purchase separate. Thanks.

Front sway bar is already a pretty thick sway bar if the original car was a AWD (X) model. Even the aftermarket only exceeds it by 1-3 mm pending the brand. The rear is a much different story as you can see in the picture above. This sway bar, for the price, is a great deal considering both front and rear Hotchkis sway bars will run you close to $400.
OP, are the Hotchkis end-links included in that price?

Sorry for the delayed response. The Hotchkis will come with end links.
I’m not entirely too sure if these will fit on the sedan. It came off my 11 Xs AWD coupe. I bought the set for around $450. I kept the front bar on and took the rear off completely. I have an aftermarket catback and i was running into slight rubbing issues on the left side only. I have the OEM style (I think it’s considered oval?) FI catback. So be sure to make sure if you have an aftermarket catback that you won’t run into the same issue.

They aren't. They're thin to induce understeer so oversteer is less of a probability in bad conditions. Makes the car more predictable in those conditions also but induces quite a bit of body roll which I absolutely hate.
The RWD sway is thick by quite a bit to induce over steer in nice/better conditions; when it's more manageable. Allows carving up back roads a bit more enjoyable.
An AWD swapping to the RWD sway (or vice versa), can gain a sense of neutral control. For AWD sedan guys, it's a God send and for the RWD fellas, allows them to retain much better control during the winter/rainy seasons.
Edit: both are 17mm I believe.
