Hi Banny !
On my New-age STI the front bar increased the front end grip, and as a result reduced the amount of "selectable" oversteer to about zero. The car just went from grip = 10 to grip = 11.
However on a damp track (Blyton) it was possibly just a touch too stiff as I could provoke understeer, but I hadn't softened it off, so maybe that would have helped.
22mm adjustable on the front, but Perrin drop-links as the rose-jointed Whiteline ones are awfully noisy, 2nd set no better....

run the rear bar on middle setting front on soft and you will see a big difference in front end grip,alloy drop links f+rear also fit poly steering rack bushes to stop any rack movement in the subframe
cheers geo

Yes , and it's tight and twisty, so it needs to handle !
1st visit on std. set-up I chewed a set of fronts to death, 2nd visit it was glorious oversteer as the torque kicked in.....
For £35 a day, don't knock it !
LOL

P.S. Cheers Geo, do you have the part number mate
