I suppose it depends on what you use the coupe for mainly.
How about trying just the back first.
There has been a fair amount of previous discussions about this.
Maybe try a search on here.

If the rear is the 22m one then just fit that. I'd only put the front one on if you had a 24mm on the back to maintain the same over/under steer balance.
When I had the Whiteline 22mm rear ARB fitted, I didn't notice any drawbacks regarding the ride quality. It just got a little more pointy and didn't wash out on roundabouts.
F****** b****** thing...

I have the whiteline 22 mm rear. Along with Osrav sports suspension set up. Front arb is standard. It's a track car and its harsh.

If I remember correctly, I should set the camber at -1.2 degrees but don't I don't remember how much toe-in. What settings would you recommend? Please remember that the car is my daily. -1.2 degrees camber is a bit much for general road use and it may mean the car becomes more "pointy" than you want. The toe settings (from memory) are 1mm toe-in, +/- 1mm (so effectively anywhere from parallel to 2mm toe-in) A lot depends on how you want the car to behave - if you want a sharp turn-in and good cornering performance, stay with your current camber and go for toe closer to parallel - perhaps 0.5mm toe-in If you like high-speed stability, I'd back the camber off to -0.75 to -1.0 and set the toe somewhere in the region of 1mm to 1.5mm toe in If you're blatting down the autobahn at 150+ every day, I'd go for standard camber and 2mm toe-in

This must be the best single mod ever! I love it!  I wrote something pretty similar when I had mine fitted - it really is a complete transformation - I recall writing that the car felt more like a RWD Just wait until you fit a Quaife and you can hit full throttle halfway round a wet corner
