When I finally get around to it, I think I'm going to go with a Whiteline 27mm adjustable front, a 24mm adjustable rear, and add the anti-lift kit. The car also needs an alignment so I could have a little negative camber dialed in there. Thanks for your help, guys.

how long can the stock struts last with the aftermarket springs? what will happen if the struts go dead? so from what you guys saying from above, will the rear sway bar help the car handling in this case?
Oops!

My .02 Cents!
I entered this a bit late. But I am running Subie Solutions/IPD/Rallitek bars and there is ZIP for understeer.
In fact, the handling on my wagon is dead *** the same as the '06 STI with the DCCD on auto (59% rear 49% front).
I am on the 7/8" front and the 3/4" rear set 'full hard'... I am so happy with this set-up, that running downhill (don't forget I have an N/A car) I am as quick in my wagon as I am in the STI.
The Evo still gets the edge on the same road however, but that's a different story all-together!
