I have mine set up the same, with the acception that I have springs on stock shocks and struts; and I can't agree more.

I'm looking at the 22 in the rear since I'll be running with stock springs for a while until I can get the scratch together for all the rest.....

I have the Strano 31mm bar and love it, but I'd rather have something smaller. It's similar to the Whiteline at 29mm.

That much bar up front can really unload one front tire over bump surfaces. This hasn't affected ride quality too much, but it does cause the car to tramline quite a bit and braking grip feels a bit worse. These drawbacks disappear on smooth roads.

I think a large front sway is a great idea, but I suspect the sweet spot is either the soft side of the 27mm or the stiff side of the 24mm.

Please explain why you wish you had the Whitelines first. What differences are you noticing?

Thanks

i have the 24-26mm front and 22-24mm rear bars. they're set at 26mm and 24mm respectively. it feel great for street use. i haven't driven a car with the bigger front bar, so i can't really say which is better.

Just installed my 27-29mm FSB from whiteline and love it!!! I have yet to see what my car really feels like now...but initial feel is GREAT! I have it set at 27mm and will be doing whiteline RSB at 24mm later in time. Get it! or you'll regret it!

Can ya'll verify that this is on the stiff setting? I didn't think the instructions were very clear. Thanks

When using a super-big bar up front, I believe that a lot of people are blinded by the quicker turn-in rates rather than overall front grip. Further, what works well in autocross will not always work well enough on the street or a roadcourse.

+1 for the 24mm adjustable's

yes it's on the stiffer setting and you don't need aftermarket front endlinks. If you break these then yes upgrade but otherwise the fronts are perfectly fine.
