Question Is 22mm front and 24mm rear rollbars to hard for road use

I have bought myself a set of coilovers and i am mainly polybushed with an alk, subframe locking bolts also on my ra classic, but at the moment i have a 22m rear roll bar but i was going 22front and 24rear roll bars and i was wondering if anybody had a similiar setup? Will it just be to stiff for the road or just right. It's on 17" alloys with r888 by the way. It's harsh with the coilovers so i didn't want it skipping over the bumps and have terrible handling because it's too hard????

22fr 25rr for me, std wrx springs and AGX struts, nice and soft suspension, with perfect handling for me.

If it's stiff and harsh now on coil-overs, then they aren't going to help.

imho

hi m8 the roll bars control roll stiffness ,if you increase the bars you will inc r/s the ride will still be stiff. spring rates and damping rates control the ride quality of the car. maybe the spring rates are too high //or can you adjust bump and rebound and poss x/over cheers geo
