24mm is .94 of an inch. It works perfect with a 32mm front. Better have some good tires in the rear It also helps launches and wheel spin.

That is pretty big for a rear bar. It is better for your 60' time though. Keep in mind that it may cause overstear with a 32mm front bar.

I'm not saying that it is bad, but I would go somewhere safe (like a big open parking lot) and take a fast sweeping corner and see if your car oversteers or understeers with your current setup. Just keep going faster and faster in the turn until the car breaks loose. If the front pushes, you need a bigger rear bar than you have now. If the back end swings around then you don't need bigger rear bar. Most guys are going with 21mm rear bars I believe, if they upgrade the rear.

Have you checked the autocross and road racing section here?
