Well, more of the theory suggests that by adding the thicker bar up front, then
compensating with a lighter bar in the back, you now have bars at each end
attempting to eliminate the lean.  (changes the roll center?  Not sure of the
terminology without looking it up.)  The end result is flatter cornering, tire
patch more constant, more adhesion, faster around the corner.

All depends on how fast you really want to go.  Me, I like it when it feels like
it's flat in the corners.  The Miata is like that.
