Rear is 14mm, solid.
I have part numbers here for OE Impreza bars in 16, 18 and 19mm. Buying from Whiteline is cheaper though unless you can find a second-hand Impreza bar! |

Too much stiffness from the sway bar(s) isn't a good thing... these cars are relatively light with low CG's, they don't need a stupidly stiff bar messing up the handling. You're better off with higher spring rates (and proper dampening for those rates) and stock (or no) sway bars.

A second-hand Impreza bar won't be hard to find locally for most people. Wait long enough and people give 'em away.

The hatchback Impreza (2008-) was reasonably popular here, but the subsequent variant is so ugly even those half-blind wouldn't buy it. I guess that's part of the reason!
