I...uh....kind of fucked up my car tonight. I'm down two WRX wheels and my passenger side control arm is FUBARed, big time.
Are the control arms the same on NA?

They swap. I know for a fact(friend had a curb incident). they arent EXACTLY same, theres some minor differences, but nothing that will affect driving..but yes they work...hope it helps matt. Sry about subarina.
Control arm is no biggy tho. My friend did it in our parking lot in about an hour or so. What did you slide into?
...and what were ya doing when you did it if i may ask?

Yea Matt, what happened!?
I couldn't imagine that there are any major differences.

I don't feel like typing up the whole incident right now. Lets just say that Subarina decided to play chicken with a mountain side/boulder and the boulder won.
My control arm is so bent that it ruptured both control arm bushings as pushed the wheel so far back that it's touching the back of the fender.
Pics coming soon.

Aw, dude, that sucks!
Yeah, NA control arms should work fine. First-gen Impreza control arms should work fine too.

I have all kinds of control arms (front and rear). They're old, but they're straight. No provisions for an antiroll bar, though. Let me know.

Steve- Thanks but I definitely need the sway bar mounting bracket and I actually already picked one up locally.
Thanks for the confirmation guys.
Man, I want to show you guys pics of the damage, as it's pretty crazy looking, but I can't seem to upload anything at THAWAS Gallery now.
