Deal, did somebody say Deal? Oh, Dean, yeah that's me.
Default WRX Wagon sway bar options.

I think I've convinced Sue to put some bars on her wagon for track days to cut down on the body roll without affecting ride quality much.

All the rear bars should work, but what about fronts?

I know there is a Whiteline 22mm front bar (adjustable and non-adjustable) and the Hotchkis 25.4 hollow, but are there any other options?

Anybody got any wagon ones laying around the garage they want to unload? MattR? DK?

I had the Cusco rear adjustable 20-22, with Perrin Endlinks. It was a great setup, I never got around to putting the front bar on the wagon.

I'll be upgrading both bars eventually. It would be cool if you could get a good deal on a kit or a package deal with the bars, endlinks, and heavy duty mounts for the rear (for us bugeye folk).

I never replaced my front bar, so, sorry, I don't have one in the garage (except the OEM one from the rx-.

Dean, I'm running with Perrin 22mm front and rear with there end links. I still need to change the setting on my rear bar (three options). Let me now if you want to take it around the block to check it out.

OK, the more I look at this, the more confused I get. Is it actually a different bar for the wagon, or just end links? This is for an 02 WRX sport wagon.

It would be nice to put in the 29mm bar...

That I am more confused, or that only the end links are different? You are not helping Nick.

Yes, different bar and links. Front track width for wagons and sedans is different. And Sue will be just fine with a 22mm front bar.

Well, it looks like the 27mm STI bar fits... http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/showthread.php?t=139383
