Sway Bar Decisions.

Ok guys so I just bought a Cusco Front Sway Bar... it says its for a 02-07 WRX/STI. Im really hoping that its gonna bolt up. Any one confirm or deny?

[BoostedSubie]

Well, the stock front wrx sway bar bolts right up so i assume the cusco one will too as it has same bends just thicker diameter. The bushings/mounts may not work depending on how big they are, thats assuming it came with bushings.

^ not sure about that. I know the wrx wagon fsb fits, but the sedan is wider.

[PhyrraM]

Yup, sedan is wider.

I recall somebody saying that if you mount the links on the opposite side of the bar (inside) it works. However, I personally have not tested that theory.

Well shit. I just took off the stock front bar and yeah The cusco no workie. I kinda got it in these but here are the issues I ran into... First the Bushings would not fit into the pieces that hold the sway bar to the under body. I was about to start messing with the Perrin end link's and discovered that the bolts don't fit through the stock end link bolt holes. Kinda bummed at this point. I was just starting to get some momentum on this car and now I feel like the wind was just let out of my sails. Ill probably end up selling the bar and end links to my brother. In the mean time I think Ill start looking for GC suspension parts

i have a tribeca fsb that bolts right up, ill even throw in the endlinks so you have no issues.

I just figured out the issue with the endlinks. I looked online at Perrins website and it says that you have to drill out the holes anyway so ill do that. Also the other problem of them not fitting width wise was because they are missing two special endlink spacers to fit in the endlink bracket. So i ordered them from Perrin for 12 bucks shipped.

@sqc151-- is that a 25mm sway bar, if so thats probably a little too much. I was thinking 22mm.

Thats my next dilemma... What is a nice FSB to get? I was looking at the whiteline 20 or 22mm Non-adjustable.

[sqc151]

k, np.

Get an 02-07 wagon front bar, 20mm and dirt cheap. I just used my stock bushings for mine

[BoostedSubie]

Didn't know the sedan was wider, i used a wrx wagon one and it bolted right up except i had to use my old bushings/mounts cuz the wrx bushings were to big to fit in my mounts but the endlinks were no problem. Sounds like you got it figured it out. I want to figure something out for the rear now, there was a rear whiteline adjustable that came into my work (salvage yard) but i didn't grab it right away cuz i wasn't sure it was a whiteline at first. After figuring out it was, went back to grab it and the car was gone (crushed). Sucks cuz i would of got it for dirt cheap.

For rear I went with a Rallitek

Looks like they've beefed it up since then too, now it's a 22-25, was a 20-24. $159 with bushings and endlinks though, pretty good deal

What did you end up mounting this on? I've got a 93' Legacy TW, wondering if this will bolt on. Maybe just try to find stuff on Craigslist from 02-07 WRX. Thanks.

92-94 lateral links, for a car with sway bars. Be careful if your car is lowered though, mine just dented in and cracked my fuel filler pipe and you have to drop the subframe to replace the 20 year old rubber hose it's attached to

kartboy rear endlinks are shorter specifically for that reason.

Sweet! You just solved my problem, didn't know such a thing existed, thanks!
