Hi

I have upgraded my shocks to monroe with Tein springs. Ride height about 25mm lower. Running 15 inch rims. Have some energy bushes to replace existing. Car to be used on the road.

Planning to replace existing sway bars. Whiteline has been recommended. Any thoughts on size front and rear?

Many thanks

What are your relative spring rates front to rear with the Tein springs?
The standard NA springs are 164lb front, 97lb rear, ie. approx 5:3 ratio.
I uprated my springs to 400lb front, 300lb rear, ie 4:3 ratio, with the same Whiteline bars as PLSEME, and it oversteered like a pig.
I've taken off the rear bar completely, the front is on the stiffest setting, and the handling is now dead neutral.
