Re: swaybar with traction bars
traction bars and sway bars have a completely different effect on the suspension.
sway bars transfer rotational load to the unloaded side of the car.
traction bars prevent the suspension arm from moving forward and backwards.
with no sway on the front and a 22 on the rear the car is going to be tail happy on the street unless you have some crazy stiff spring rates.
A 24mm front and 22mm rear make for a nice starting position as far as handling.
IMO, the 26mm SI front is too much front bar.

You can definitely drive it like that. Just get used to it for a few days
You DO have stiffer springs right?
Actually some people prefer nothing up front

What is the intended purpose of the EK in question?
