Starting to get OT here, but depending on what is meant by bar rate, what you say could be wrong. When I say the 19 mm bar has a rate of around 125 lbs/in, I mean that if one arm is held stationary, it will take 125 lbs to move the other arm through 1" of motion at the link point. When the car is leaning in a corner, if the outside suspension compresses by the same amount that the inside extends, then a rate of 250 lbs/in will add to the outside suspension and a rate of 250 lbs/in will subtract on the inside.
