My '95MTX (Oct.'94 build date) came with skinny bars both front and rear.
Maybe 19mm?  And skinny springs.

Right after I got it I added Moog cargo coils and a 26 to the rear first and
wasn't happy at all.  With 400#+/- in the trunk there was a whole lot of
oversteer, to the point of being dangerous.

With the addition of '89 front springs and fat front bar the thing has only
a little safe understeer.  Corners really flat!  Didn't seem to have much
inside wheel spin in the corners at Summit Point, but that may have been the
driver not pushing it all that hard.
