What size is a wrx front swaybar?

[THAWA]

I've read everywhere from 17mm to 21mm but no definative answer. Does anyone know for sure?

[Yukonart]

Well, Whiteline upgrades are 22mm, so I'd say it's probably not quite 21mm stock. I'm going to wager a guess at around 19mm.

(I'm still searching for you, though.)

Okay. . . hmmm. I'm finding out that the WRX sedan's REAR sway is 20mm. That's interesting. I would think the stock front one would then be larger. . . perhaps it IS 21mm.

Wrx suspension stuff doesnt translate to logic that well because of the widened front track messes up all our tuning logic. Thus the wagon has the 17mm rear and no flares.

it's 19 iirc.

It doesn't fit our cars and we can't use them as a guidline for tuning.

Indeed, Scott. Just beat me to it. Subydude has the specs on a page comparing the Perrin swaybar to them.

This is kind of what I though about the sedan stuff, anyway.

Whoah. . . so a WRX wagon swaybar should fit a BC/BF?


N/M Just searched, and that spare tirewell is going to be the problem on Laurel's car. Looks like that Cusco car we were offered will have to go back.

There have been 17 and 20 mm rear WRX sedan swaybars. I think 02-03 is 17, and they went up to 20 for 04-05, or something like that.

other way around.

SOA recognizes that WRX owners cant drive.

[THAWA]

So the front doesn't fit? Why not?

[Yukonart]

So the front doesn't fit? Why not?

I think the track is too wide. . .making for a swaybar that's also too wide.

Sounds like the wagon sway might work, though.

[THAWA]

Well AWD NA's have a shorter track than turbos and FWD's but the swaybars are interchangeable. Has anyone actually tried using it to confirm?

[Legacy777]

Pretty sure the sedan bar won't fit with the wagon one is that the mount points are on the A-arms, which are different between sedan & wagon.

So assuming the bends are the same, a wrx wagon front bar should work.
