22mm Front Sway bar

Hi Guys,
 
I want to get a 22mm front sway bar for my MKII and have seen a MKI Twin Cam bar for sale cheap.
 
Am I better off getting an Adjustable K-Mac bar (or whiteline that uses the washers) or will the Twin Cam bar be suitable?  I.e. will I get enough Caster out of it?
 
Cheers,
 
Matt

    Cheers Woz,
     
    That what I was thinking.  Are you using the K-Mac bar as I have heard a few reports of them not being of the highest quality?

    Mine is a kmac, no issue.  I think mine has the revised ends with thewashers, instead of the nut arrangment, that is the one you need.  If you want a price PM me and i'll get one for you,

    I have a 22mm KMAC adjustable bar with the threaded adjustment and trust me that is the one you want. I used to have one that used washers and it was a real pain in the ar5e when it came time to adjust it because it had to be completely removed to do so.  Have a look when you come over, the car is on the hoist.
     
    Also, i will be happily corrected but i believe twin cam bars were only 20mm not 22

    I was wondering were you get the adjustable Kmac bars, as I can only find Whiteline ones and I could prefer the one without the washers that you have to remove to adjust.
     
    Thanks
