Suspension/Swaybar Setup

Hi guys, I am hoping to hear about different suspension setups. My suspension has evolved quite a bit from stock and now I am able to corner hard but it seems to want to understeer more.
Currently I have:
-Whiteline 22mm front ARB
-Whiteline adjustable rear ARB
-Whiteline Antilift kit
-Meister-R's set at medium settings and 0.5° neg camber

I am wondering if I should try the smaller stock sway bar since my suspension is firmer. Also, with the antilift kit it puts the sway bar on an angle...should I space the mounts off the chassis to regain level geometry?

What tyres are you using? They will play a big part.
I've found before that the front ARB does increase understeer, I've removed mine before and found it made a big difference, but it was harder to put the power down. Might be worth trying the stock one and see how you get on.

I'm using BFG Sport Comp 2's. I'm quite impressed with the tires actually, in dry and wet conditions and they have a pretty stiff sidewall.
I'll give the stock bar a try. I think I'd prefer neutral handling with a slight traction loss. It's a shame the front Whiteline ARB isn't adjustable like the rear.
