Default Pro drive adjustable anti roll bar worth the upgrade

Seen a prodrive adjustable rear anti roll bar going for a good price its 21mm.
My standard widetrack blob is 20mm non adjustable is it worth the upgrade ?
Cheers

I fitted a adjustable whiteline rear arb and alloy drop links to mine yrs ago and the difference was night and day. Turn in was alot sharper and it made the rear more playful. So yeah they are worth the upgrade mate.

I got Whiteline front and rear ARB's fitted a year or so ago now. A brilliant stealthy little mod that was. Hawk STi.

Can't comment on the prodrive ARBs but upgrading is definitely worth it. I've got CDF 22 & 24mm on my Widetrack and they perform great, especially on track.

Cheers guys after reading through the thread above cheers for that that prodrive bar on soft should be more than enough for my needs and should suit the prodrive springs better as well.

Likewise mate, nearly pulled the trigger on a plain boot lid and an A-Line rear spoiler last year but I thought about it for too long and they all sold, still kicking myself.

I've had both whiteline and prodrive/eibach bars on my hawk.

And I would recommend the prodrive bar. It's works perfectly with the oem front bar and makes the front end much more responsive.
I currently have it set on the track setting and its no way as harsh as the whiteline one felt.

This may be due to the rubber bushing vs the whiteline poly bush.
I would also rather the rubber one as I now don't have to keep lubing the polybush to stop the horrid creaking noise they make.

Prodrive bar is also a lot cheaper. :-)

Impartsb46 are in partnership with Subaru UK.

Brought some parts of them before and I checked to see if they were genuine, they told me they were from Subaru UK.
So I called Subaru UK to make sure and they do. Lol

The 4 listed on ebay, by impartsb46, are listed as all sold.

PCA dynamics might have some left:
