it's the balance of elastic stiffness (springs,roll bar) vs geometric stiffness (suspension geometry).

Bam, that's why the front roll bar got thicker than the rear one, as I said i settled on the 2.5mm front to have a slightly more aggressive car than 2.3mm front roll bar. With those two bars I don't need to change anything else in the setup and letting a big secret out I'm sure the tire temp and wear are lower.
