I'm currently over sprung... I really should drop back to a 450 spring in the front... luckily I've already got a set of springs to do that, it's just a matter of doing it.

The only caveat to the swaybar thing is that WRX/STI's really seem to like a very stiff front bar, simply because it helps a lot to prevent positive camber gain on otherwise soft stock springs... so you pick up better handling w/o giving up ride quality. But IMO you're still better off limiting camber gain simply by running stiffer springs and properly setup dampers... but if you're going to keep the car streetable, you need to keep the springs on the soft side.
