Updates from the Option 2 magazine event, with Orido driving:

We fitted our 18mm solid rear bar halfway through to see how that would affect the handling. Unfortunately, not in a good way - it was nearly a second slower than with the standard rear bar. Orido said it was initially quite entertaining, the rear end would drift through nearly any sort of corner, but also quite twitchy, and ultimately harder to get through the course fast.

What we found so far is that, with the perfect 50/50 balance of the car from the factory, putting on a larger rear bar only, or a larger front bar only, will just upset that balance. Subaru/Toyota really did a good job of setting up the car out the door. Any swaybar upgrades need to be very carefully balanced front to rear, or you'll upset the balance, and ultimately, grip.

Search for 'sway bars'. I'm aware that the correct term is anti roll bar but most people call them sway bars.

As for needing them, it will depend on the rest of suspension setup.

generally street cars that enjoy spirited driving rely on anti-roll bars to prevent "sway'" in the front and/or rear because they run softer spring rates. In a track focused vehicle, the emphasis is more on heavier/stiffer springs than anti-roll bars.

So yes, for most people wanting to improve the handling of their street car, anti-roll bars are applicable. I personally would never upgrade just one sway bar (unless you want a drift set up) as it upsets the balance of the car. You'd be best upgrading the front and rear at the same time with this car (theoretically speaking of course since most people havent played with this sort of stuff yet).
