STi Sway Bars

Im looking at some adjustable sway bars and endlinks for my STi and was wondering if I really need both the rear and the front. I kinda thought you just needed rear. What are the advanteges of having both and which ones do you recomend?

there is no benefit from fitting a front sway bar to a WRX or STi. the cars have enough understeer built in from the factory that a front bar only exacerbates the cars tendency to push the front. i'd just get a rear bar of your choice, and endlinks. i have a cusco adjustable bar on my WRX, and have zero complaints about it.

Yeah thats waht Ive been hearing, that a front sway bar will tighten up the front end and make it push (understeer) through a corner. Ive been looking at the cusco, anyone else have any sugestions?
