Rear sway bar fit

[4WRXter]

I was trying to do a search but I don't want to spend too much time searching and lose the deal.

04 STi rear bar for $52 shipped w/bushings.

Will it fit my 2000 RS?

 

[Evan]

if its from an sti, it will be too wide, although sti makes bars for the wrx.

Thanks Evan. After I posted I also found a thread on RS25 that apparently you can make them fit, on the outside of the endlinks, but it was too iffy and questionable for me. I'm going to keep looking. Thanks again.

A stock WRX swaybar is a bit fatter and most people are giving them away for free these days on NABISCO. Otherwise, go with a used whiteline, cusco or perrin.

I love my Cusco....talk about moving up the fun meter!! ;D

If anyone has or knows of a rear bar for me..........

Cost wise, I will probably do the bar and then save some more for links. Unless there is a really great deal.

From what i have read, I am thinking 20mm or I might settle for a cheap 17mm WRX bar

I put a 20mm STi bar on the Forester and it upped teh fun factor by at least 10x. Go big.

So Mike, did you bolt yours to the outside of your endlinks? Sorry about all the questions, I'm just trying to learn all the different ways of doing things. :

 

[4WRXter]

And Rightseat, what are your feeling on bolting an STi bar on the outside of links?

 

[mikebike357]

Nope... the STi bar is a direct swap onto the Forester... The forester has more bits in common w/ the STi than the WRX. Does your RS have "C" shaped endlinks?

 

[4WRXter]

I would call them kind of a slightly "squared off" C ??

They are $2 more on JSCSpeed.com but I bet you pay a lot less in shipping....

 

[Evan]
