rear sway bar- what are you running?

dscoobydoo · Post by **dscoobydoo** » Fri Apr 01, 2005 5:00 am

Ok, right now I have the stock turbo swaybar front and rear with strut braces front and rear and a lower arm bar on the front from a GC.

The car handles pretty neutral with the tires I have, but I am curious if anyone has gone on to a 20/22/24 rear sway bar.

I'm pretty sure that everyone has soft enough stuff not to warrant a big rear bar. IMO i'd go to stiffer bushings and links on the stock bar long before my interest was piqued on the big bars. Also of note is that the wrx'es have different track widths and weight distro than us, and as such suspension choices cannot be based on wrx success stories.

^---all conjecture and opinion.

I am asking this because I have done almost all of the suspension upgrades:

AGX/ H&R springs, group N strut tops, strut tower braces front/rear, and lower arm bar in front.

The thing handles very tight.

I just wanted it to go a little oversteer versus understeer. When I get the better tires in a few months, it will push the bias back to understeer.

You know that your springs (which are probably meant for an impreza) will increase oversteer on braking, right?

The springs are specific to the Legacy sedan.

The impreza has a different part number.

As I know the 90-91 turbo using 19mm rear sway bar but 92-94 are using 18 mm rear sway bar!!!!
Why they have to change from thick to thin? Any good or bad if the 92 turbo put in a 91 turbo rear swaybar?

Thanks for answer

Voted 18mm turbo bar, but actually I don't have one on. The bar, new lateral links, endinks, and swaybar mounts are sitting in the corner of my room. I'm waiting to get my damn 4th strut before I install everything.

running the stock bar (18mm) with 1st gen whiteline endlinks on new style lateral arms... instant response from the sway bar, better cornering in the dry and it isn't over bearing when in snow/dirt

ok, I finally did it. I sucked it up and bought a 19/20/21 adjustable rear sway bar.

I figure the 20/22/24 bar would be a bit much.

I have my first autocross on the 15th, so I will tell you if it was better or worse.

Running a turbo (18mm) rear bar on my N/A Legacy, originally 16mm. It went from plowing in turns to being quite neutral, right where I like it

Running stock.

I replaced from 92 tubro 18 mm to 91 turbo 19mm. Not too much different, I was replace it with the rear endlink also when the time I do the swap there are not too much choice for other size for our car....

all the turbo bars are 18mm in the rear. There were no 19mm.
