Default Classic : Rear Upgrade : Front Imbalance : Handling

I have to replace some bushes on the rear of my MY96 .... lots of info on Scoobynet.
Car already has a 22mm Whiteline rear ARB and front strut brace.

But why , when discussing handling etc ..., most threads focus on the REAR of the car ..... bushes, ARBs etc .... not much about the front.

If I upgrade the bushes at the rear with group N or even STI pillow trailing arms and links, surely that would cause some imbalance with standard rubber bushings at the front ?
