Default Advice please - ARBs!

Ok I currently have the choice of the following ARBs:

1 front 22mm 2 point adjustable.

1 front 24 mm not adjustable.

1 rear 22 mm adjustable.

1 rear 27 mm adjustable.

I own a Type R WRX Sti year 97.

Which would you guys recommend as to the best setup for my car?

Thanks

Lucy

Loads on here about ARBs but usually a 22mm front and 24mm rear is the accepted way to go, if whiteline then you could go adjustable but some don't want the option of adjustable so fit the non-adjustable versions. You could ask if there is much difference between each setting?

Or look at the eibach kit which is a 23mm front and 24mm rear non adjustable.

Are you going to fit uprated droplinks? whiteline or CDF do them. It may be worth cosidering uprated mounts for the rear as it is possible to rip the standard ones off the chassis rails

Then you could consider an ALK as well - blimey it never stops

Hiya I have the whiteline rear droplinks and cdf ALK already to go on. I will also be fitting standard front droplinks as been told these are the best for the STIs. I also already have the uprated mounts. I just can't decide which sizes are best to fit. I own them all!

I would start with a 24 or 25 rear and see how you find it. If its too oversteery for you get the 22 front at a later date.

If I were you I would pair the ARBs as follows:

either fit the 22mm front and rear or fit the 24front and 27 rear, the rear should either be the same or bigger than the front, then sell the other pair, what make are they all? let me know what you decide as I may be interested in the ones you don't fit
