FYI

The few RB320 kits that were sold to the US were non adjustable struts, and came withOUT the sway bar. A little different from the 'true' UK RB320 kit.

Here's a little info on it.

I tested the Prodrive RB320 Kit the other day.....

I have the kit, but have not yet installed it.

Laki747 · 01-09-2008, 06:33 AM

I've ordered it directly from UK Prodrive.They even send me some instructions on email about setting it up for race and street version.Some rear anti-roll bar comes with it but i dont know excatly what is that...

I have the kit minus the sway bar, and have the street alignment as specified by the Prodrive instructions. Install was straightforward, but I had the fortune of doing the install using a lift and air tools.

I did replace the stock tophats with Group N's at the same time, but you probably don't have to. Anything specific you want to know about the actual suspension or the install?

The kit will be installed by local subaru dealership where i bought my car because i still have waranty so i dont worry about that.Is it a big difference between street and race alignment?By your opinion as someone who has that kit what should i use?What is that anti-roll bar?

I don't think Prodrive ever released the swaybar, that was an option on the RB320 model.

Prodrive America didn't release the swaybar. This gentleman did not order it from Prodrive America. He ordered it from Prodrive UK, and they include the sway. I tried to get this across in post #2.

Laki747 · 01-09-2008, 09:59 AM

What are the differences between America's and UK's prodrive kit?Is swaybar the same as that anti-roll bar?

Grumpy STI · 01-09-2008, 10:01 AM

Anti-roll bar and sway bar are the same thing. We didn't get the sway bar in America. Other than that the kit is the same.

Sorry. I didn't see you mentioned the sway bar in your original post. I understood where he ordered his kit from. Being I'm in the US I didn't know Prodrive UK was selling the sway bar with there kit.
