Default 02 WRX sway bar question

I have an 02 wrx with stance lx coilovers and perrin end links. The spring rate is 8/6 and i want to order a set of whiteline 24mm swaybars. My questions is will the whiteline work with the perrin end links, and will this take out some of the bounce that i have with the soft spring rate?

This is my DD and i will also be doing autox and canyon runs.

Thanks

The bars will work with the Perrin end links.

It will not take any bounce out of the suspension. That is caused by a mismatch of the springs and dampers. You need to adjust your damping rates to lessen the effect. To completely get rid of it you would need different springs and probably different shocks.

If you really want the car to handle better I'd recommend a larger front sway bar. 25 to 27mm are available.
