Helix endlinks w/ stock rear sway?

I am about to purchase some helix rear endlinks. I was also going to buy a cusco rear sway bar but in the process i found a cusco front sway bar for really cheap. I couldnt pass it up. I wanted to hear from you guys what you think about having helix rear endlinks with a stock rear sway and cusco front sway on stock endlinks?

the helix rear end links should work just fine with your stock swaybar. they'll quicken the bar's response, but they won't have the same effect as a larger sway bar.

the cusco front bar will work fine with your stock front end links, no problem.

now, the catch is that if you install the Cusco front bar and the rear end links, your car is going to understeer pretty severely. the stock WRX understeers pretty badly with the stock front and rear bar, and increasing the diamter of the front bar won't help matters. if you've already bought the front bar, wait to install it until you've got a rear bar in, and do the rear endlinks at the same time.

no, a larger front sway bar will help increase understeer.
