Default Bush Replacement on a 2005 Widetrack STI

Since getting the car have fitted a Whiteline ALK, and about to fit new droplinks to the front as I found this made a notable difference in tightening up the feel at the front on my old bug WRX.
Also have a roll centre correction kit waiting to go on.

I'm considering replacing other worn items with with polybush equivalents just to tighten everything up at the front of the car, and would be interested to hear peoples' thoughts on what to go for.

I've commonly heard people replace steering rack bushes (assuming to reduce vibration and / or movement).
I was considering also changing the front ARB ones - anyone know the size for a widetrack STI front ARB?

Suggestions on brands, sellers etc all appreciated.

the streeing rack bush kit helps to give a more positive location/feel and is defo a good move, as for the front bar its 20mm from memory but easy enough to check with verniers (or a spanner for that matter )

we stock/supply Whiteline, Super-Pro and Powerflex amongst others so can most likely assist if required

I asked the exact same question some time ago and didn't get much info.

Mine is a 2005 sti too, I've replaced front and rear arbs for Cdf ones and matching drop links. I think I'm going to go for steering rack next but not sure what else is worth doing.

My car had white line alk on before I bought it.

Car feels great at the moment, tyres made a huge difference too... Running vredestein utrac sessantas now.
