Default Uprated Rear ARB on a classic

Anybody had experience of uprated rear anti roll bars on their classic impreza? I know exactly what the rear ARB does, i have run a rear eibach ARB on my wee mk2 golf to great effect for years now. its just the ARB thickness im questioning

I have a (yet to fit) Perrin 25mm rear ARB (& stout mounts) – and from doing a lot of reading around the internet – seemingly 22mm is the way to go on when upgrading only the rear ARB

So question is, has anyone run a 25mm rear ARB without uprating the front, what is their opinion on it? too snappy? Car is just a road car. or do i look about for a swap for a smaller 22mm adjustable ARB

It will be fitted in conjunction with solid whiteline droplinks both front & rear to a UK MY99 already with KYB shocks & prodrive springs

If you're fitting a 25mm on the back you really should fit something like a 22mm on the front to get the balance back or it will feel 'snappy' on the back.

I have a 24mm on the back of my Classic and it does feel a little twitchy if i'm pushing on. Once I get the insurance out of the way I plan on fitting a 22mm on the front.
