Anti Roll Bar

Anti Roll Bar
Just found out my front anti roll bar mounts are knackered on my RB5.
Is it worth replacing the mounts for new ones as seen a set of powerflex on ebay for £40, or get a newer uprated one with mounts, etc
Currently got a whiteline adjustable one from Powerstation on the rear, and wondered if it would benefit from changing the front and justify the cost.
Thanks Phill

Slightly contentious this:
I had Whiteline 22mm uprated bars/mounts/bushes front and rear on my Sti v3 for 3 years, rear set to middle hole, and the car was very nice.
Many here say this combination spoils the effect of the rear bar, but I beg to disagree (put my tin hat on now).
But; if the car ran as you liked it to, just replace the bushes with Powerflex units.

I'll agree with Graham on this...
I also run 22mm adjustable bars front and rear (both at hardest setting), and find the balance spot on, on my typeR. Each car/driver has different settings that work depending on conditions/driving style.
There is a high degree of personal comfort/preference involved in handling mods, and what is right for you might not be right for someone else.
If the balance of the car is right then don't bother with another front bar. If it is to oversteery/lifting up an inside rear easyly then a stiffer front will help.

I think it probably best to renew the bushes then and not the whole anti roll bar. Would like to try one though, just to see

I also run 22mm adj bars front and rear + tein adjustables. On my Type R
Front on Hard - Rear in the middle. Found the rear hard setting abit to harsh for some roads. But thats the beauty of an adjustable setup...
Contary to alot of people - i put the rear on first then the front. Really liked what the front bar gave to the car. Alot more mid corner grip i tht
