WTT: custom sway bar setup for stock
 
Before I put the coupe back together, I figured I'd see if there's any interest in this. I've got a custom fabbed RSB setup with endlinks and big, beefy mounts. I'll trade it for any OEM bar, endlinks and mounts plus say, $40. I'll try to get pics soon.

Before you ask, no I do not know what "size" it is. It looks like solid 7/8s round bar, but the lever ends might be a little longer than stock. I also do not know the exact material so I cannot say that it is "20mm." or whatever. Subjectively it felt a whole lot like the 20mm RSB I had on the wagon, and is definitely much stiffer than the wire coat hanger they use on stock GC/GM/GF Imprezas. So if I had to guess, I'd call it equivalent to somewhere between 18 and 22mm, but I could be off.

If you don't get any takers on the trade, I'd be willing to sell my stock rear sway stuff for cheap. Let me know

Kevin, I might have a stock RS bar sitting in my garage somewhere if that helps you at all. I'd have to look since it was from way back in the day when I was experimenting w/ really high rear spring rates and a tiny swaybar, which was like 4 years ago... but it was Cory's old stock swaybar.

Rubber Buiscuit just got a (new to him) GC and I'de bet he wants to upgrade to a bigger rear sway ...

I think I have a set of stock rear endlinks, but I'd need some mounts to make it work. None of the fabbed bits interchange with stock, so I need to come up with the whole deal to let this go.

That would work.

I have a rear STi sway bar, but the front is stock. Did you only need the rear? Both? Crap, what size are the STi sways?

Just rear, and STi would be fine.
