What settings do you run them on? Softer/Med/Stiff and how do you like the setup?

I have a Whiteline 24mm adjustable front and Perrin 22mm adjustable in the rear with Perrin Stout Mounts and KartBoy links in the rear. I like. Felt the difference more with the front than I did with the rear.

better balance. Larger rear bar will make the car oversteer easily. I perfer a more neutral set up.

Most everybody seems to run either larger front(if you buy a set itll usually come that way) or equal. Dont know of many people runnin oversized rears but all depends what your looking to accomplish

Interesting feedback everyone. So -III, if you were to purchase them one at a time, you would personally recommend doing a front sway first? I cannot afford doing the whole setup at once, but I'd like to see results quickly... so it sounds like the front would be a better choice first?

Whiteline 22mm front, 24mm rear w/ kartboy endlinks

Stiff rear will cause you to three wheel https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/11267_170594092581_650422581_2919654_1616727_n.jpg

It looks cool, though it can hurt your car's rotation.

Overall I'm happy with the ammount of oversteer the car produces, its not much but it does tend to favor it. Thats fine with me since I'm used to rear wheel drive.

^Art, you think it might help the wagon a little more since the center of gravity in the rear is higher than a sedan?

I'm planning to run 22f/24r on my wagon too, but I'm not an autox guy.

I also have 25/22 Perrin/Eibach Front on middle and rear on softer setting, I had them on my 08 wrx too. My car oversteers as much as necessary. A large FSB helps for steering feel too and the car barely 3 wheels in AX by having a somewhat balanced set up.

I have my Whitelines on the hard setting. I like it like that.

You're going to feel both, just when I installed my rear I also did adjustable struts then lost my license. So I didn't really get a feel for how it affected the handling as much as I did the front. Front installed then AutoX the next day. Needless to say, steering felt more responsive and I could get the rear loose more easily with both bars.

I have Whiteline 24mm F+R with Kartboy Endlinks and the mandatory FSB spacers. Both swaybars on the hard setting.....

The STi is ridiculously flat through any corner now.
