What are you trying to improve by swapping out the rear sway bar?

'08 + Impreza (inc. WRX and STi) rear sway bars, and '10+ Outback/Legacy rear sway bars.

You should be able to find OEM diameters in 14, 15, 16, 17, 18? and 19mm depending on the model/year combination.

Stock BRZ/FRS is 14mm. I have a 15mm from my '11 Outback (which has been upgraded with a 17mm STi bar). I have no idea why you should "just get a TRD sway." The used OEM bars run about $50US (except for the STi bar, as there is a bunch more demand for those) and a TRD bar will set you back a lot more than that.

The better question is what the OP is trying to achieve with a stiffer rear bar... stiffer doesn't automatically mean better.

I've given up on that, I just try to answer the questions now.
