What do you guys recommend for sways on an 07' STI

Just curious, but what do you guys recommend on sway bars for an 07' STI?
The car is mainly used on the street (Hwy 9 kinda stuff) and autocrosses in the future.. Front and rears? Just front? Just rear?

Brands.. H & R, Perrin, Cusco, Cobb, Whitline.. Who like what and why?

Currently riding on COBB springs..

TIA!!

You might as well go with both. I personally don't think you are going to notice a difference between one brand or the other. Can't go wrong with Whiteline and usually SpeedElement has them in stock.

I got my Cusco one from them and I love it.

Honestly, all the sway bars are going to be the same. Cusco I've heard are made within the Subaru factory over in Japan so they will probably have the best fit. Whiteline are also very good...

I've heard Cusco's fit the best on older WRX's and don't have any clunking sounds like other brands do

LIC says Cusco RSB+Whiteline Endlinks=Win

I have the whiteline 27 front and rear, and had the cusco 22 rear (still have it). Can't go wrong with any of the whiteline or cusco bars. Cobb/hotchkis are nice as they're hollow. Common setup for autox with softer springrates is whiteline 27front/24 rear, though driving style will play a role in how big of bars you need.

Ive got Whiteline 24mm adjustable sways (F&R) with their fixed endlinks, Standard ALK, Steering Rack bushing, and lateral links. Overall its a pretty solid ride with really good turn in. Im also lowered on JDM pinks with wrx struts, so if you wanna take a ride just let me know.
