Default ARB Rear 22 or 24mm?? Help!

Hi there I have a blobeye WRX and want to upgrade the rear anti roll bar. I can't decide on 24mm or 22mm... The front will remain standard (20mm) and I won't be tracking the car either.

So do I go 20F / 22 R or 20 F / 24 R??

Will there actually be a noticeable difference if it's just 22 on the rear?

Would love some honest opinions.

Cheers Martyn

I had a JDM Widetrack STI and that had 23mm on the front and 25mm on the back and its handling was sublime.
I only used it as a fast road car but it did that extremely well.

22mm will be fine and you will feel a big difference.
I tried 24mm rear and 20mm front and it's a bit twitchy to say the least.
I have 22mm front and rear now, perfect on uk roads for a newage IMO.
Your biggest factor on grip will be tyres, make sure you have excellent tyres before you start upgrading parts.

That's awesome. Appreciate your advice. Just ordered the 22mm. I'm running Goodyear Eagle F1s which are pretty decent.

Will post once fitted! Thanks again for the advice

Same tyres as I use, good all rounder and great in the wet.
You should have 3 levels of adjustment on a 22mm whiteline rear bar, start on the softest setting and have a tinker until your comfortable.
Centre setting out the 3 is where mine is set.

Let us know how you get on
