Yup, that's the M3 convertible rear bar, the sedan/coupe bar is 20mm out back IIRC.

Not sure if the H&R bar is stiffer than the M3 vert bar. Keep in mind, it's not only the diameter of the bar, but also the length of the bar's lever arms. We'd need to find out if H&R cheated the lengths a bit shorter to add stiffness (a common practice with aftermarket bars) despite a similar diameter.
ok. ill check into that. will it be safe or a decent step up from stock. if i just upgrade rear and not the front?
