The rear sway bar from a 2008+ (correct me if i'm wrong) WRX will fit. I swiped one off of NASIOC for 35 shipped

Sure, it fits. But does it improve handling at all? How so, why?

Sway bars are one of those things I see people often install on their cars for no real rhyme or reason but do it just to do it and sometimes hurt their car's handling in many cases.

People change parts to change parts without ask any questions why.

The goal is to make changes to improve something you want.

@CSG Mike & @Racecomp Engineering do sway bar manufacturers always use the same material? In not, how much of a difference can that make to the stiffness of the bar?
@Mikepage could you add the stock bars to the list?

Kostamojen · 10-23-2013, 03:32 PM

Don't forget the Strano FSB
