Default Hatch anti-roll bars

Afternoon gents,

After suggestions for arb upgrade for my 2008 WRX hatch.

Car is daily driver, lowered on H&R springs, adjustable rear lower arms, Prodrive wheels, and Prodrive 'fast tarmac' geometry setup. Standard shocks.

When cornering enthusiastically, I can sometimes hear the outer mudflap scrape along the ground. That being said, the mudflaps don't have much ground clearance. The car doesn't have a crazy amount of body roll.

So question is - Will front & ARBs from an STi be a good affordable upgrade? Are they stiffer than a WRX? Or would my money be better spent on some bilstein shocks?...

Over to you!
