I have a type R with tein spring on right now handles quite well but would like the car to be a bit stiffer and cancel out as much roll as possible what ARB combination would you suggest.
Im uprating the drops links but not sure what to go for do i go 22mm rear 22mm front of 24mm rear 22mm front or just do rear 22mm
Really dont know what is best, car is being used for fast road and i might do some track work later in the summer but it should mainly be fast road focused

My Classic...
24mm rear - set Middle.
22mm front - Set Soft
Spot on
Consider that your type R can be more rear biased with the diff control.
MY06 STi with Yaw Sensor
22mm front - set hard (25)
25mm rear - set hard (27)
I love the hard ride and due to the auto diff setting you get all the benefits of reduced roll without (so far) massively induced oversteer as the sensor throws power rear to front should you over do it.
It's a work in progress but fun messing about.
The other thing I have noticed is replacing ball jointed drop links with solid types reduces unwanted (IMHO) lateral movement and 'jiggling' experienced so far with my Spec D.

Sorry to high jack the thread but i was thinking of messing with the suspension a little on my spec D, Im no expert with this sort of thing but I was thinking solid rear drop links with new bushes for the arb for starters, I was also hoping it might get rid of a little clonk i get sometimes over pot holes as well as up grading a few parts, what do you think
You can see what you want, but you can't get around the physics of what these affect the dynamics of the vehicle. Regardless if whether you "like it", the car might handle like a piece of **** if not done correctly.

Step in the right direction IMHO, as for the clonk ?
ARB advice please
You sure?
