94+ .188" RB sway bar on 1.6 chassis
What's all the fuss about 90-93 and 94+ RB sways? I've read that the link holes are roughly 1/2" - 3/4" off but I having a peak at my 1.8 and 1.6, the bars look nearly identical aside from a mild difference in hole position.
So they question is, can one run the 94+ .188" bar on a 1.6 chassis? Given my spring rates (10-12kg up front) and my intent to run R-compound tires, the .188" bar seems like a better combo.
Can I just slap the bar in and 'fix' the 'issue' with adjustable links?

I think I'm fretting over trivial things given that the car will never be in a competitive environment (I just threw parts on it without regard to a specific class). I'll probably hit Deven's 'for fun' once or twice a year and maybe an open track day. Whether I go 1.125" or 1.188" ... well, I doubt I'd notice a difference.

Alrighty - sold!
Thanks for the input. Considering there is no cost difference between the 1.125" and 1.188", it seems like going with the 'race' bar is the right approach just in case I do get the track bug (which is likely given all my hobbies tend to involve speed and buckets of money).
