Would a better ARB benefit me?
Hawk WRX currently on full set of KYB Ultra SR shocks and eibach springs which improved the handling a lot.
I have some super pro front droplinks ready to go on - would it be worth me replacing the front ARB while I'm at it or wouldn't it benefit me much? (used as a road car - b-road bombing!)
Cheers

I've just returned to my original roll bars due to finding them better for A & B road driving.
Found the thicker roll bars made the car nervous at speed over uneven roads.
Think there better suited to track work.

I went from oem to 24mm front and rear and the car was horrid to drive on bumpy roads and would toss my head side to side at slow speeds over bumps.
Then I changed to 22mm front and back and there was a definite improvement.
But it was still not as composed as it was, so now back on the oem bars and the car is so much better controlled over bumps and undulations.
Really shows that a thicker bar adds to spring rate and reduces independent suspension movement.
