Default Anti roll bar wrx-s

Hey all, after some advice Xmas is approaching and my dad always moans about the boat like feeling when cornering in his wrx like being in choppy water to what in used to, will just changing the rear anti roll bar + lateral arm reduce it noticeably? Or are the springs also to blame

Many thanks Dan

Is the the Hatchback WRX-S, if so put a STI rear anti roll bar on, the main problem is the subframe bushes, get some Whitline subframe bush inserts fitted, gets rid of the rear boat like handling, without affecting the ride quality.

There a wheel free ramp job, you don't have to drop the frame right out, just enough to get the top inserts in, wil require a full geometry check afterwards, as the frame does'nt locate to its original place easily, no press needed.

The bush inserts make a massive difference, gets rid of that woolly rear end, bit like an old Sierra use to be.
