So do you guys think this would be a good buy? Its the Rallitek Swaybar Package.

http://rallitek.com/rafuswbarkit.html

They are solid bars and come with rear endlinks, as well as bushings and rear heavy duty mounts. Deal seems pretty good to me, the front bar is a 22mm and the rear is a 19-21mm adjustable. Seems pretty decent. As far as what I am looking for is just to reduce roll in the car and stiffen it up a bit. The only other suspension mod on the car is STi springs. I'm a fan of the price...

I just put a 22 on the front (Whiteline) and have been running a 21? (from STi) in the back for a while. The front made a noticeable difference in body roll while not being too bumpy for the wife.

The stock STi rear bars are 20mm unless its the pink bar then its a 21mm. Thats not a bad idea but I kinda like the idea of getting all new bushings and the heavy duty mounts with endlinks.

Swaybars are hard to screw up. As long as there are no fitment issues all bars are pretty much the same. It's not like they're coil-overs or something where seals go bad quicker on cheaper products, or there's lesser performance because of a half-assed design.

So, as long as no one's complaining about fitment or bitching that they didn't notice a difference after installing them... chances are they're a good deal.

IIRC they used to sell that same kit with crappy looking endlinks.
Nice to see they've upgraded
