help on my setup

[explicit_03]

I plann on getting all this together in the next couple months. What im wondering is i have read through the swaybar FAQ's has anyone noticed a benifit to adding an aftermarket front sway bar? Cause i am gonna add a front strut bar but if its not really worth the time or money vs the benifits of having it i wont do it. Here is my list of what im gonna go with:

whiteline front and rear endlinks
rear 22mm whiteline adj. rear sway
front and rear strut bars
set of raceland coilovers
16 or 17in wheels (dont know for sure depends on how much i have left after the rest of the parts)

Maybe whiteline front swaybar (if its worth it)

All help would be awsome. Im looking to really have a grate handling car for whatever i want to do with it. (why i thought to replace the front sway bar) if anyone has switched out these things let me know how you like it. Thanks guys

This isnt far off from my setup.
i have the raceland strut bar and i noticed slight change at the track but saw no benifit on he street.

As for the other stuff. You gotta ask your self what your doing with the car. If you are going to take your car to the track on a regular basis i think you may reconsider the raceland coilovers. They are kinda bouncy and a bit to hard imho. But if your just looking for something to go to car meets and show off they do ok.

Basically, they are fine for style, but for handling on a street car and track car there are better options.
Im not a suspension guy just what i have seen

I mean i would'nt really be hitting any track days (dont have them where i live) but i do have a lot of mountian passes to go over (love colorado for that) then just mostly daily driveing. My big thing is the front sway bar is it worth it?

[lord flashheart]

Man thats a tough question. In my opinion (anyone can hop in and correct me) thry come down to your budget, driving style, and goals with the car. They are more pleasure when combined with rear and end links. So im my ase yes they are worth it. To some of the oher guys the answer is no.c

If you know what i meanForget the coilovers, you kind of in the same boat as me I would go with KYB AGX's and some WRX or STi springs, or KING springs idk who else makes BD/BG spesific springs


whiteline front and rear endlinks
rear 22mm whiteline adj. rear sway
front and rear strut bars
set of raceland coilovers
16 or 17in wheels (dont know for sure depends on how much i have left after the rest of the parts)

Maybe whiteline front swaybar (if its worth it)Forget the front sway and get the rear swaybar mount, you only need to replace the front if you are going way stiff for track use (24mm+) or really want 2x the adjustableness.

see if i can find a good price on oem wrx strut and springs, and the person dosent want an arm or leg an dthink they have gold lol, i was gonna do that with some lowering springs. I think that would work better than coilovers. About that front sway bar that is what i was told casue arnt they 20mm stock? What dose the rear swaybar mount help with?

The rear mount helps from not breaking you stock rear mount lol

Yeah I wouldn't get a bigger front bar unless you have every thing set up with with your new shocks and springs and rear bar and endlinks front and rear and you want even less body roll but don't want stiffer springs and or less over steer.

For example if you have your rear bar on the stiffest setting and want less over steer but when you drop it to the medium or soft setting you think there is to much body roll then I would get a 22mm or larger front, the thing is the larger you go the less your suspension gets to work independently.

KYB GR2 struts + stock springs.
Upgrade the rear and front sway bars to 18-20mm

Spend the rest on good tires and brakes.

Spend the rest on good tires and brakes.Thats a good place to start if there was an order of improvement but I still think the stock springs are really soft, but I have Pilot SS's on SSR comp-c's and winters on my stock rims and my brakes are upgraded soooooo yeah
