Don't know about Crawford's but mine is aftermarket, made by HT Autos. I purchased it from Koru.

This is coming from a detailer. if anyone has questions on this or what are some of the best products feel free to pm me. I work nor am sponsored by any product that has to do with detailing so not trying to sell off of armorall, just telling what i know.

Good to know. I used Armorall as a generic term. Should have said tire shine or something.

I installed a WRX 16mm Rear Sway bar...Powder coated it Pink (I'm a sucker for my wife) and bolted it in. Took maybe 25 minutes? Car on the ground...and the Nameless Performance exhaust left me plenty of room to work. Driving...With all the Nannies OFF and in Sport mode, she kicks out the rear quicker. Not Crazy, still very predictable, but definitely a change!! She'll slide out with ease when you wanna Drift in an empty Industrial Parking lot on a quit Sunday evening too. Anyhow, I dig the change and the simplicity of it. Enjoy!

2008-2012 WRX 16mm Rear sway bar

Stock BRZ vs WRX

Hmm - so is there now a market for all of the used outback sway bars? (stock 16 or 17mm) I've got 2 of them in my garage....and there are hundreds of owners on subaruoutback.org that have swapped to a 19mm sti bar.

This would be the case...There is a ton out there from Folks Swapping Up from stock...The shitty thing for the Aftermarket (Not us however) is there really isnt one unless you want to go insane big 19mm-22mm?? I paid $40 for an excellent condition WRX Sway bar with brand new bushings, bushing caps, and end links. Same story...the guy upgraded three days after he bought his WRX. He was surprised to hear it would slap in the BRZ...
