On the front suspension, the swaybar attaches directly to the strut body, so the rate of the bar adds directly to the rate of the strut spring. On the rear suspension, the swaybar attaches to the hub, so a coefficient on the swaybar rate may be necessary when adding the swaybar rate and the spring rate. But because the strut is also bolted to the hub, my guess is that the coefficient is very close to 1.

So the 19mm rear bar basically balances out the front and rear spring rates....interesting....
