Cobb has some new goodies :)

**RallySportDirect** · 05-21-2008, 03:26 PM

Looking to eliminate the body roll and understeer that the standard WRX is cursed with? Look no further than the race inspired design of the new COBB Tuning Sway Bars. The primary goal when upgrading your sway bars is to “balance” the suspension of your vehicle by increasing the spring rate, or the amount of force it takes to flex the bar. The main Chromoly splined rear bar is black zinc plated with anodized aluminum arms fitted to both ends. This new style design significantly increases the spring rate over the OEM rear sway bar by 230%, 350%, and 535% with the three different end link mounting positions.

This was just a quick copy and paste. I thought some of you guys might be interested, as allot of you are looking for swaybar options.

starting to look like porsche sway bars.

**tyler_sti** · 05-21-2008, 03:30 PM

Might want to add these are for '08 aplications...

supermarkus · 05-21-2008, 03:32 PM

I would hope so, considering this is posted in the 2008 STI discussion forum.

**RallySportDirect** · 05-21-2008, 03:34 PM

Yes these are for the 08

GilMikalian · 05-21-2008, 03:48 PM

So is this for the "standard WRX" or the STI? Same difference? I thought the STI bars are a bit longer.

STIllthatguy · 05-21-2008, 03:48 PM

how much for the "stage 1 kit" as cobb put it. and is it for STI, or WRX? would these be much better then stock STI bars?

USNSTI · 05-21-2008, 03:50 PM

Hey this is really cool for the 08 guys. Someone should get these and post up the results. Fot the 02-07 crowd sways were the best upgrade to do to the suspension......

**RallySportDirect** · 05-21-2008, 04:01 PM

The rear bar will work on both STi and WRX. But the front bar is STi specific. As the 08 WRX bar has a different length.

To respect the forum rules I am not going to post any pricing.

Hey, that rear bar looks like my prototype rear bar.

RSD, you try these yet on Kirill's car?

I would love to see fitment of these bars wirth after market endlinks.

kts262 · 05-21-2008, 05:31 PM

For those interested, Cobb's website lists the front bar as a tubular 25mm - CobbTuning.com - Front Sway Bar

Didn't see any specs on Cobb's rear bar.

STI_SLC · 05-21-2008, 10:48 PM

What rear strut tower? The shocks (not struts) are now mounted to a subframe.
