You will have no probs with them. Play about with the rear setting (the 3 holes in the rear bar) as each position will have quite an effect.

I ran 22/22mm for 18 months till I changed the rear for a 24mm bar for racing.

I have Whiteline 22's front and rear on my MY00 with the alloy droplinks and also the anti-lift kit up front. The front is non-adjustable and I started out with the rear on the middle setting figuring that if there was too much understeer I move it one way, or too tail-happy and I'd move it the other. And it's still on the middle position (tail can be loose in the wet but generally very well balanced).

I have 22 front and rear, the rear is set to the stiffest setting, which seems fine on my car

I have 22mm on softest setting at the front and 22mm on hardest setting at the rear.
Also alk,droplinks and lower front 4 point brace.Feels nicely balanced
Didn't plan to fit the front arb originally but as already had 22mm at the rear didn't have much option but to fit 22mm at the front and adjust.
Either that or splash out again and buy a 24mm rear.
Spoke to Whitleline and they advised setting above if using two 22m arb's

cheers

I run 22 front, 24 rear for couple of years now, love it...482 bhp (at present) and she does exactly what I want her to...If too much on right foot, tail comes out, not front which is what I prefer anyway (its mint on roundabouts!). Other mods also help, braces, suspension, etc.

And there you have your answer!

It is so much down to personal choice/style/level of excitment + ''other mods''

I had the 22/22 middle hole setting which was nice but had terrible AVO coil-overs too....

Went AST 50/40 spring rates/Noltec top mounts and added the 24mm rear (middle hole was settled on in the end) and the car is really really nice (then)

Moved to AST 3 way competition Coilovers and other extra mods but 60/50 springs. Bad move (for me) and went back to 50/40 springs, Good Move! Car went 1 second faster in a race.

It is a balance of parts and settings which is why Chassis mods are so much fun.

It is a reasonable thing to state that Everyone Is Right!

Graham.

Note the size of the front roll bar on my car at the time.


This subject can get very complicated!
