Which should I get, Eibach Pro System or Pro System Plus?

The Pro System Plus includes Eibach 22mm front & 25mm rear swaybars. Is that much difference than the factory swaybars on a GTI 1.8t ('01 or '02)?
Thanks,
Ming

The front is the same, but there is no rear sway bar in stock form.

No rear bar? LOL
Front on the GTI is 23mm and rear is 21mm and integrated into the rear torsion beam.

By "integrated", do you mean it can't be removed? So that any aftermarket rear bar is in addition to the stock "integrated" bar?
Thanks,

The rear bar is welded into the rear axle. Technically, you could probably remove it if you have to. But, all rear sway bars are designed to be installed while leaving the stock bar in place.
