anti roll bar query.
my ST DTCI has a smaller anti roll bar than the ST220 I have been offered a new unused 220 roll bar and was wondering will the thicker roll bar do anything or is it a waste of time fittin it. I think the difference is about 3mm in thickness

bigger is better 
sorry pal i have no idea if itll fit or whatever. but i think it will and should improve the handeling abit, you might need the front and rear ones to acheive their full potentional though

It will defo do something, what is a hard question though.
If you fit one 3mm thicker this is a massive amount in stiffness terms, likely to promote odd handling when pushed, unless you fit the suitable rear one as well, as one end stiffer than the other.
I did the opposite on a fwd car, put on a much stiffer rear arb, the understeer was terrible I have the suitable front one to fit when weather allows.
