ok i would have prefered a 24mm rear then you could put a 22mm on the front ////
you could put 22mm front on soft setting with alloy drop /links and run the rear bar on middle or hard setting , anti lift kit and pillowball top mounts for camber /caster adjustment ,i take it you have alloy rear d/links fitted .
this would be a good road set up
cheers geo

Hi JamWRX1,

The STI set-up is a lot stiffer, my pal has a WRX, I have an STI, his rolls more and oversteers quite easily with the rear ARB on stiffest setting. Mine rolls far less and I have to provoke oversteer deliberately.

HTH

P.S. Both 2001/2 bug-eyes. I have since fitted a 22mm front bar to mine and it has calmed the rear end down, but gives more front end grip
