Default Anti roll bar or just drop links

I have fitted an adj whiteline rear bar and links and I have an anti-lift kit ready to fit.

Is it worth fitting the front bar or just the uprated drop links?

Its a classic type ra used for road use only.

IMHO:
Leave the front alone and get is aligned by someone who is really good.
For a road runner I feel that will give a good chassis.
Another move would be a 22mm bar in the front to compliment the 22 in the rear and set the rear to mid or 'end' holes.

I presume your new rear is 22mm?
If it is 24mm then i would fit a 22 front for sure, with the rear set to middle hole.

Thanks for the reply, only just spotted it. Not sure what size the rear bar is, I will measure up tomorrow.

I'm going to buy 4 camber bolts and get it all set up next week(just fitted uprated springs/shocks and ALK. Do I need to modify the rear shocker holes to fit/use the rear camber bolts?

On my type R ('97) i had front and rear ARB's with ALK, and solid alloy DL's, along with a geometry set-up. purely as a road going package, I thought this package was awesome. Much more precise, much less understeer (not noticeable on roads at all) and i was a lotmore confident in the car.

It is the last 9 words on the comment above that makes this simple mod so important.

Why Subaru never did these changes thenselves will always be a mystery.

I spent most of last night reading the search's I pulled up for camber bolts. My mate owns the garage were I do all my work so they will be setting up the geometry. I'm thinking 1.30 neg camber all round the rest I have not decided on. The car only gets used on the road and then only at weekends etc.

You do need to think about all the angle, though some are fixed in the stock suspension.

Critical are the toe angles front and rear.

Take a look at Whiteline Automotive - performance handling and suspension products. car spring coil shock damper swaybar sway bar anti-sway bush bushes australia australian whiteline automotive performance road holding turn-in camber caster toe in vehicle hot 4 v8.
They give road/road race/race settings.

cheers 911, ordering camber bolts from camskill today. Had a quick test drive after todays mods(ALK, shock/springs) feels very strange at the front, very light when giving it some. Parked up now(scared me!) till it's all been set up
