IIRC the FE2 suspension that came on the 442 had a 1" bar in the front and a 7/8" bar in the rear.

Actually, 15/16" front bar on the 442. The Vista Cruiser had a 1" bar. Making the front bar too large with respect to the rear can cause the car to understeer. The selected sizes make the car more neutral.
