Any advice out there on sway bar setups. I know that ultimately it comes down to my own personal taste... but I'de like some feedback on this.

Here's what I think I know: I've seen several brands, and know they come in different diameters = increasing stiffness, hollow and solid - etc. The car is prone to understeer, so stiffening up the back more is important. What I want to ask is: For an 03 sedan, does anyone have suggestions of a front/rear combo that is balanced nicely, and stiff enough if I want to start autocross, but still reasonable for daily driving? Thanks.

Adding a front and rear sway bar may not be the best way to go for curing you're (everyone with a Subaru) understeering problem. The car will be a little more flat under cornering, but having just a rear sway will make the car rotate a million times better. I have a Perring adj. sway, endlinks and mounts bought it used for like $120 dollars or something, works perfect. I would suggest the whole package, eliminate any weak links. Browse here, I-club, NASIOC, any Subaru site, and look for people selling used sways, and other items of interest.

p.s. If you're still on RE92's buy something else. 17x7.5 or 17x8 rims, and you're choice on tire size, Everyone seemes to like 235/40/17.
