At the moment i have prodrive springs with a whiyeline 22mm adjustable RARB fitted to my 06 STI, would it make a big difference if i went for 24mm rear and 22mm front, cheers steve.

 

was wondering the same thing on my wrx too

 

i think it would corner flatter.

 

A 24mm bar on the middle setting is approximatlely as stiff as a 22mm bar on it's stiffest...

So going larger will enable a more oversteery behaviour if desired...

The front bar will also increase the front end grip, so the car will feel more "planted".

Once you try road legal slicks you will be astounded at the grip.

It will make the car more oversteery and you will have to be careful on the wet

 

ok so what will be the dif if i only put the 22 mm front anty roll bar on with the 22mm non adjustable on the back ?

 

That's what I have, (nearly MY REAR BAR IS AN ADJUSTABLE - BUT ON "STIFF") it can be pushed into oversteer on track, where you drive the car harder... but on the road it just feels planted.

I was under the impression that due to the weight of the later cars you should really have the 24mm ARB on them. The 22mm ARB is really for the classics.

 

i thought if you put 22mm on front and rear then it still works the same as standard, thought the rear had to be thicker to get rid of understeer, cheers steve.

 

22mm on a WRX is good on the middle setting, stiff on an STI... oversteer is available, but only when trying really hard. IMHO. I save it for times when I'm on track myself...

A 24mm bar is good for super-smooth drivers IMHO, could be a bit too lively in the wet for my taste.

All IMHO.

P.S. Also depends on use, a road car could end up too stiff and lose out on hairpins...
