Torsion Bar Help

Hi Pelicans,

Need some advice on torsion bars. I am refreshing the front end on my 1986 3.2 carrera. Doing pretty much everything from bushings to turbo tie rods, ball joints, etc. I did not contemplate replacing the torsion bars but when I got one of them out I noticed some rust and a worn out spot causing a the squeaking more than likely. First question is opinions on replacing this torsion bar and the other side with the stock 19mm or go to 20 or 21mm to make stiffer? I also ordered Bilstein HD strut inserts to go in the Boge Struts that came on my car so not sure how this would match up with the stiffer front torsion bars? If I went up in size on the front would I need to go up in diameter in the back as well and replace? This is a street car that I plan to take on some spirited drives and maybe up to VIR once in a while if I can get it back together! Thanks!
