A reply to a post on here a few weeks ago has promted me to look into stiffer anti roll bars for my '03 Impreza WRX 5 door. Basically I'm looking to reduce body roll and stiffer ARB's were suggested. Can anyone recommend a supplier or website? Or, does anyone have another suggestion?

Would appreciate your help.

Get Whiteline Anti-roll bars and firmer bushes front and back, and drop links front and back = much less body roll. The only other thing you might want to do is prossibly look at Eibach or Prodrive springs all round to go with the standard dampers for better suspension control and a slightly firmer but still compliant ride.

Good choice. I put a stiffer ARB on the rear of the P1 and it transformed the understeer issues. You might want to look into some of the other bushes whilst you're at it - it really does make a noticeable difference.

Whiteline is the kit to look for, I bought a 22mm adjustable rear ARB...going to save up for a front one, anti lift kit and camber bolts now.

Get the alloy links to go with them...the stock links are rubber and will flex with a stiffer ARB instead of actually bending the thing!!

As I track my 06 WRX quite a bit I was reccomended I get the heavy duty mounts to as apparently the stock ones can crack with hard use.

I can only echo some of the coments above. Whiteline is the way to go! Soild good value products!

I'd advise though a 24mm rear adjustable and 22mm front adjustable roll bar. Seems to get the best results / feedback from my customers. Also this is what is used on the Type 25.

Can't recomend an Anti Lift Kit enough, transforms the Impreza!

Also as mentioned above the standard plastic / rubber drop links should be replaced by the alloy or steel items. Try and avoid the Rose Joint versions for road use (UK Salted roads does them no favours at all)

The metal rose jointed types are found as standard on an STi and are a wonderful invention and shouldn't need replacement if they work OK. If you cover them in high temp grease regularly and inspect them monthly, specially in the winter they will be fine. I rarely hear of rose jointed droplinks prematurely failing but they do wear out eventually.
