Could any one recommend what anti roll bars to get , should I keep the oe front etc it will be for fast road and odd track day

whitelines of course. Plenty of them about for second hand on facebook groups and cheap. One of the best mods i ever did was fit the anti roll bars to my car.

P.S. - If rear is adjustable, I set mine on hard, car's are known to udnersteer, so having a harder rear anti roll bar will help balance it out a bit.

perrin or white line , same company any way , i would not go too harsh or when it looses grip you get less notice

There was a very informative discussion on this a couple of days ago.

NB. The front arb is pain to get out.

apparently racing drivers either loosen off or disconnect roll bars in the wet as per my above comment , i did this on my fsti and it's set to middle rating , i just did the rear , coilovers have a bigger effect than arbs if you don't mind the firmer ride

on a 2010 WRX STI i decided to go for whiteline 22mm front and whiteline 24mm rear both adjustable, i found that it made a world of difference to how the car feels while cornering hard, feels like it is now pivoting from the center and the is almost no understeer, it will understeer with hard acceleration but its dramatically less (Note this is in the dry on good rubber)

In the wet i have had the back end go twice, its not a nice experience, i might drop the rear to 23mm in the winter due to the weather, the is no chance in the cold wet conditions with winter tyres i can get the front to let go, it always seems to be the rear.

Still prefer it this way than stock, much funner to drive

i agree with you better driving but you want a bit of warning before it goes wrong no good if you end up by spanking your car , the coilovers are still a good way forward i picked up some used bc ones and that made a lot of difference much more than a roll bar

Frylite

Out of interest what BC series/car was that on? was always told unless you spend a good 2k+ on coils they wont offer much over stock in regarding to their dampening/compression/rebound finesse etc, was half tempted to get the BC coilovers that cost circa 700-800 but was advised it wont add much other than adjustability so i went with ARB's.

When I did mine, I uprated the rear, leaving the front standard. I used solid droplinks all round and uprated bushes, plus had the bump steer mod done (on a classic, worth doing).

I then had a full PROPER (not back street tyre place) geometry setup done.

I ordered ohlins and whiteline bars 22 mm front and rear with few other whiteline bits and bobs waiting for it all to arrive

Vxr2010

as above if you are doing it i only did the rear of mine

Sorry, but that's wrong.

Uprating the REAR dials out the understeer inherent in these cars.
Uprating the front at the same time dials it straight back in again

Surely the point of changing the ARBs, is to have a larger one on the rear, thus making it stiffer compared to to the front and countering understeer?

If you fit the same size front and rear, you are actually making the front stiffer in comparison to stock and will therefore increase understeer?

I ordered bsk012 from whiteline as a complete kit
I'll get that changed for a 24 mm rear bar thanks for the heads up

Don Clark

The rear bar in the kit is 3 position adjustable, so can be stiffer or softer than a fixed 22mm bar.
The front is also adjustable.

The S204 runs 21mm bars front and back - just saying

R205 comes with 21F and 19R, as standard, if you are also adding coilovers this will stiffen it up further.

Awesome thanks don
I spoke to the supplier got an unbelievable deal on the rear 24 mm adjustable bar
Which gives me the option now to sell on the 22m bar from the kit

the rear replacement arb on mine had three settings i opted for the middle , car behaves better now as the back stays a lot flatter , the only thing is standard fsti arb was not very big and was smaller than a like sti one , i still advise coilovers as bigger improvement
