Default Anti roll bar bushes measurement

Looking at uprating the bushes on the vts, however there are various sizes for the front anti roll bar bushes - 19/21/22mm

Just wanting to measure them and order the right ones the first time, I take it the best way to do this is find the outside in mm to work out diameter, as close to the bush as possible?

Have been told it 'should' be the biggest ones being a vts.. true or not?

waste of money, nothing wrong with the original ones.

VTS has a 22mm roll bar.

I beg to differ mate, they're absolutely shagged!!! It's had wishbones at some point in its life as they're reasonably new looking... But everything else looks fucked.

To your first point - why is there no benefit over the standard ones when polybushing? I'd have thought it'd solidify everything a bit and give a better feel like they do on most things?!

Are standard really that good (or powerflex that bad)?
