Default 22mm Front ARB with 24mm rear ARB, is this OK

I've got a 24mm rear ARB on its way, and am tempted with CDFs front ARB but they only do a 22mm version.

Will these two different sizes be OK?

UK classic.

No stick with 24/24, smaller front just makes the car nervous at the rear

You know me I never do things by halves, so super roll centre kit it has to be. It will all help when you are trying to enjoy running proper power through a classic chassis

I find this set up works well with cars without dccd. Eliminates some of the understeer, it worked well on a bob sti I use to own, maybe different on a uk classic but I would always go for this set up

I've got 22/24 f/r and it balances my classic really well - no understeer and no oversteer, it just feels great. Absolutely love it!
