While researching some info about chassis setups I stumbled on some
dimensions of anti-roll bars but have no idea how to determine the increase
in roll resistance of a couple of examples. Any engineers out there that
can help me out?

I would like to know the percent increase in the following examples
assuming all the other factors are equal i.e. material, attachment points
etc.

As can be seen the bars are hollow!

Front bar:
26.6mm diameter, wall thickness 3.5mm vs.
26.6mm diameter, wall thickness 4.0mm

Rear bar:
14.7mm diameter, wall thickness 2.6mm vs.
15.9 mm diameter, wall thickness 2.6mm

Any help would be appreciated.
