Stock rear bar is 12mm

I've just fitted an M3 E92 front sway bar, definitely an improvement, I was initially sceptical but I got a good deal on one so I thought i'd give it a try. The E82 chassis seems to have decent turn in but once you load up the tyres and the car leans, all the front end grip just drops off like a rock. The front bar seems to have improved the front end grip at the limit, quite surprised.

I am thinking a 15mm rear bar would help dial out the remaining understeer but will leave it for a while until I am used to the current setup. I like to do it one mod at a time so I can learn and evaluate every part that goes on the car separately.
