Upper strut tower brace, rear sway bar, front sway bar... go the whole 9 yards and put in shocks and springs, but if you dont want to spend alot of $$$ then go upperstrut brace and rear sway bar

You should only need a rear sway.

your front sway is big enough. if you don't have an EX and is older than a 04 i think you don't have a sway bar. stock ex is 13mm. i got my 19mm on and its great! big difference. but to answer your question, NO your front sway is like 23.5 mm. its huge. itll be alright.

Couple of things...

1. are you just trying to reduce body roll, or are you actually trying to make the car handle better?

2. Chassis braces have No effect on the amount of body roll a car does or does not have.

thats a matter of preference. Maybe start with the rear bar 1st and then if you decide to upgrade the front if you still want to reduce more roll. Car will handle better, but depending on your budget, tires may be a better option.

It's definetely preferable to have both.
If the WRX had only a rear and no front sway, that would help explain some of its understeering characteristics.
