Swaybar upgrade.

Post by TonyAWD »

First off i would like to say hi. I'm new so be gentle. haha

Anyway, I have a 94' BJ "L". I had done the front end swaybar/endlink upgrade, and wanted to do the rear aswell, but to my dismay L's dont have rear swaybars. I checked the swaybar thread and read that 93-01 Impreza later links fit my car. I saw these online, and wondering on fitment. Its says RS so maybe they are different?:Image

Any input is a big help. =)

My L has a rear bar. Maybe that was canceled on the facelifted models. RS 2001 and older should work.

IIRC from a while ago, there was some question about the adjustable links' reliability, but I don't remember the conclusion or if it was a purely hypothetical concern. Loctite would probably be the answer to most concerns anyway.

yeah, 92-94 L's didn't come with swaybars, why they would do that idk, considering the 90-91 had them. The main concern i have is fitment, but if they were designed for car with the same suspension as my Leg, then fitment should be no prob. Also, I'll see if i can read into that issue you talked about. I dont think these would do that tho, these are made by Cusco.

Well, worst comes to worst, if they don' fit i know someone with a 2.5RS and i'll trade these for his laterals and all shall be right with the world.

If they're meant to fit the 93-99 Impreza there's a 99% chance they will fit the Legacy. I'm running a set of WL adjustable rear lateral links, and they've been great.

The Cusco ones i posted above are like $280.

I'm going junkyard digging to look for the stock setup, to save some coin.

To save space in the BBS, I'll ask my question here.

I'm wondering if these fit on my 94 Leg.
02-07 WRX Lateral Links
They look damn near the same as the cusco ones i posted above.
If they don't fit, if anyone knows why and could explain it, i would be very grateful. As you can already tell, junkyard search was fail.

Thanks again.

Yes i have been looking for those. In my area its a pain in the bum to find a Subaru with good enough lateral links. Most of them are still running, or stripped clean. Plus the ones i posted are like $164, and the STI Pink ones i want are about 400. The junkyards around wanna charge me a premium for the used part, at $100 a link for rear ones, no bushings. I've been looking through the aftermarket, but its all so expensive. I think i might hunker down and get the Pinks or the Whitelines if i can get a good deal.

According to this, Swaybar FAQ it does. And you car already has a FSB so endlinks you don't need, BUT i would go with aftermarket ones. I put the Whiteline end links coupled with a RallItek 22mm FSB and the car handles awesome. Plus, i don't like plastic bits in my suspension, but that's just me.

KLC20A is a very good deal. I have those and i was rolling around with these on the stock FSB, and it felt great. For $80 you cant beat them. The other one your said is more for racing applications, but for everyday driving and some spirited driving here and there, KLC20A is best IMO.
