Hi all. What do you guys run on the rear of your blobs for a decent fast road spec? I'm looking to reduce the understeer and get better turn in on my 2004 blob WRX. I know that for the classic the general rule was to fit a 22mm on the rear with solid links if your leaving the front stock. So as its a blobeye with the heavier body would you go for a 24mm on the rear, solid links and leave the front stock for nice balance on the road?

Also, off what cars are the rear roll bar the same in case there's any used ones up for grabs. From what iv'e read, the STI Newage is different altogether, but will any items off classics fit?

TIA

Go for a 3-way adjustable such as Whiteline and then you can set it just how you like.

Hi,

I had a Whiteline 3 way adjustable on my old 2005 car and it transformed the handling, As the other guy said you have the option to adjust it, although in the end I never bothered altering it.
On my current 05 STI I have an Ultra racing rear ARB. both had / have solid droplinks too.

If yours is a 2004 wrx you can't use the 2005 STI onwards as it is the widetrack, but the wrx and non widetrack STI rear bars are ok. not sure if classic would fit, I don't think they do to be honest.

Oh right OK, i'm with you. So as long as it's a Newage non-widetrack it should fit no problem. Thanks for that.

I will deffo be going for a 3 way adjustable one but i'm just not so sure what the best base point would be - 22 or 24mm. I've done a bit of reading and mostly coming across posts saying that on the newage, fit a 24mm bar on the rear as opposed to 22mm on rear of a classic when running stock front ARB. Scoobyworld do currently have the 22mm Whiteline rear bar 3 way adjustable and solid links in stock. The 24mm one is currently out of stock though until december so the site says.

Do you by any chance know the thickness of the bars you've had on your cars? Thanks. Aaron.

Yeah none widetrack and you should be fine.


I know my Ultra racing is a 23mm, I think the whiteline I had was a 22mm

The 22mm WL is 22mm on the softest setting.

I have a brand new whiteline 22mm adjustable ARB with bushes still in its wrapping that may fit your car. Was purchased for my 2006 hawkeye WRX but I never got round to fitting it before selling the car.

Also have new front whiteline bushes for standard bar size and brand new full CDF Racing drop link set. All about to go up for sale, just not got round to putting adverts up yet. Send me PM if you're interested. Cheers.

22mm whiteline rear and spec c 20mm up front.
On stock jdm suspension it really is as good as it gets for our bumpy roads.
24mm will bite your **** off and have you facing the other way or worse if your pushing too hard.
24mm rear and stock front is dangerous if err you drive your car properly and 100% get a taxi if it's raining

No problem. The CDF kit is the full front & rear kit, I won't split and sell only the rears by themselves though. Sorry
