i've driven a couple of cars now with the weltmeister bars - not all that much to write home about - plenty adjustable, but that is a slippery slope, requiring a ton of tuning time to accurately set it up and not just be "how close can i guess?"
it's all about balance - the 19 works well with the 30mm hollow IF you have the springs and torsions to match - too much bar on too soft of a spring is a problem - you could easily end up with a car that feels like it's on marbles - it's very important to match bars to springs (torsions are springs too)
the 19mm bar is not a lot stiffer, but if you want to settle the rear down a bit more, it can help - depending on the rest of your setup though, it might induce oversteer - if you have 25.5mm torsions, you can go to the 19 without fear - if they are smaller that that, i wouldn't do it
yes, you can run even bigger bars, but you need to match everything else up too - for example, i am running a 22.25 on the rear of my car, with a 31.75 on the front, but i have the springs shocks and struts to accommodate them - i have also reinforced the extremely soft lower suspension mounts by bracing the castor blocks and running spherical bearings everywhere
again, it's all about balance
