you won't notice any difference in drag racing. it does make a decent difference in handling, but I changed them out for some hotchkis sways. huge difference there.
The 26mm is 38% stiffer than stock.
The 19mm is 56% stiffer than stock.
Like everyone said above, sway bars won't help you at all for drag racing. But it would make your car much more enjoyable and safer as a daily driver. Since you mostly drag race, I recommend that you get the lightest sway bar available. From what I know, Hotchkis isn't the stiffest sway bar, but it's the lightest.

If you install just a stiffer front sway bar, you'll have more traction when turning because you won't lose as much camber. Ever since I put on my front sway bar, I've gotten A LOT more traction in the snow. I rarely slip when I turn and when my car does slip, the tires bite into the ground immediately. It's faster and safer now than when it was stock.
What is the best Sway bar step up bar none for ultimate street handling??
my driving style is high speed/late brake entry into corners, just stating incase that helps a lil'.

I run the Progress 27mm with the stock 17mm and I think it's perfect for street. You can get rotation when you want it and it's extremely controllable; this is probably what you'll want for the street just incase you get in a close call accident and have to turn right and left quickly.
what i mean is generally a larger diameter bar will be 'stiffer' than a smaller diameter bar. the 26mm hotchiss is hollow but still would be quite a bit 'stiffer' than the 19mm mopar sway.
