The big question is how your car performs at its limit. At 70-80% of your tractional limit it'd prob feel a lot better due to the stiffer sways distributing more of the weight from the inside rear wheels to the outside front. But how stable does it feel when you're at the tire-screaching limit? Does lifting off the throttle mid-turn make your car skittish?

Greg: Upgrading sway bars isn't necessarily a bad thing. A lot WRX drivers like to get stiffer rear sways (20mm from 17mm) since it comes with a lot of understeer off the lot, and also has smaller sways than in other regions. As for my planned setup, when I get my Skunk2 camber front/rear I'm planning on -1.2 up front and -0.8 to the rears to go along w/ my Eibach Pros--a bit less than your recommended setup just to minimize inside tire wear. This is my daily driver, afterall.
