Default Perrin front ARB or not? (Classic STI RA)

My current setup is as follows:

V3 STI RA
Perrin PSRS (ALK)
Perrin 25mm rear ARB, on softest setting
Perrin rear alloy drop links and stout mounts
Perrin subframe lock down kit
STI pink rose jointed trailing arms and lateral links
Ohlins 25 way adjustable shocks
Cusco H brace
Quaife ATB front diff
Bridgestone RE01R tyres

What I want is peoples oppinions as to whether I should go for the 22mm Perrin front ARB, I have some Perrin front alloy drop links but have not fitted them yet.

The car is a toy and gets used for autotests and will be doing trackdays and airfield days.

Just my opinion but I have a whiteline 24mm front arb non adjustable with wire droplinks fitted and it made a big difference to the handling car handles better and i have coilovers. You should get the perrin arb

I would think about it before you part with cash, IMHO it makes the car too stiff.

I get the inside front wheel spinning in 3rd on track, because its so stiff you get no droop on the front inside.................

I will take both to the track just to see if there is any time difference at some point.

i have eibach front and rear arb fitted with eibach pro street s coilovers ,powerflex droplinks , whiteline alk kit , perrin stout mounts and whiteline roll centre adjustment kit . i find in the dry the car handles amazingly but in the wet the car is just too stiff which makes it a bit nervous

just my opinion

It handles well, the back end comes round nicely when it needs to and it's quite controllable, I'm always looking for ways to improve it but I don't want to get the bar and fit it to find out I don't like the result.
