 I didnt know they recommended that. It seems alot of speed shops do say the
same thing. Neuspeed says the same also. If anything, a 25mm front bar would
be in order for our cars since theyre so fromt heave anyways. So why then,
do they offer the 28 for the rear?? Kinda wierd aint it? It's backwards.
I have the 22F/28R Neuspeed bars and I have never been bitten by it. It
gives the chassis a great solid feel through fast and slow corners. Slow
speeds thru corners is even a more under control feeling. They allow the
tires to do a better job of gripping the pavement and wearing much more
even. If your into performance driving, get the larger bars. (even if your
not, they dont affect the comfort of the ride) If not, go with the smaller
bars since they're cheaper! 
19mm front is like stock! Yuck!! Why fork out cash for that, I ask?
