Well, I got this swaybar and guess I misinterpreted the application. I'm pretty sure whatever I looked it up on said '90-91 and '92-94 takes two different swaybars, my car is a '92 so I ordered a BSR19ZX. I now see theres a mid-year change in '92, and judging from my end-link style I have an early car because mine are the 'bayonet' style @ the lower control arm instead of a 'C'. I didn't realize this until I had bolted the swaybar into the car though, and it seems to fit fine (aside from attaching to the end-links, which I'll figure out in the near future).

Are there any other issues with running this bar on a early '92 car?

Nope....that bar from WL comes with adapters to be able to be used on the pre & post rear end link design.

all my bar came with was the bar to body mount bushings and some grease. I think I'll go look in the shed and see if something got misplaced.

Hopefully it was just a typo on the post. I see the PN as BSR19XZ.

oops. xz is correct.

You could make something to work w/ a couple lengths of all-thread, a couple clevises, and a few nuts and washers.

Just be careful with the grade of all-thread and nuts you use. All-thread from the local hardware around here tend to be either non-rated or grade 2. I wouldn't trust my car with it. Certified grade 8 can be had from online sources such as McMaster-Carr.

Alternatively you could just upgrade to the C-style mounts as I and Josh have done. Thanks to Joshs' write up it makes it easy.

No extra parts in the shed. I'll be fabing something up.

Is the write-up your refering to the one involving swaping the rear arms? Or can I attach the 'C' style to my arms?

You'd need the other style of lateral links. The ones w/ the bracket on the bottom.

lame. I suppose you could just pick up some lateral links and endlinks for cheap. 93-01 imprezas with rear swaybars have the right ones for you. So do 02-07 wagons and 95-99 legacies.

Correct. You would need new laterals for the C-shape links. If you're considering continuous mods to your car (i.e. making it a project car) I highly recommend the whiteline laterals, c-links, and low conformance poly bushings. Again, simalar to what Josh has done. If you have the extra cash its worth it. I ended going this route because of a bent lateral on my swap car...the whiteline parts were comperable in cost to dealer OEM parts and of course offer better performance. Not to mention, the whitelines are adjustable.

I see. I think I have bigger isues to deal with right now so I'll make the original links work for the time being, and plan on swaping lateral links in the future.
