Arrow Looking for Sway Bars for a 2007 2.5i Wagon

I'm looking for front and rear sway bars for my 2007 Impreza 2.5i (non turbo) Sport Wagon. I will just put a couple links below of sets of sway bars I am looking at and you guys tell me which ones will and will not fit. I have absolutely no info about my factory sway bars at this time (other than they're about the size of a sharpie pen) so I hope you guys know more about my car's suspension than I do.

Cusco for 02+ WRX or 04+ STi (both are listed, idk which fits)
Cusco Sway Bars - Sway Bars

Whiteline for 2002-2007 WRX Wagon.. but for my 2.5i wagon?? and Adjustable or Non-adjustable? I just drive my car daily on the street.
Whiteline Wagon Sway Bars - Sway Bars

Subaru OEM 20mm sway bar (says it will fit an RS... which i assume is also the 2.5i models too)
Subaru OEM 20mm Rear Sway Bar - Sway Bars

Whiteline Rear Adjustable
RallySportDirect.com - Performance Upgrade Parts - WRX EVO SRT4

Whiteline Heavy-Duty Rear Adjustable (from 22-26mm)
RallySportDirect.com - Performance Upgrade Parts - WRX EVO SRT4


Okay so there's more than a couple, but do you guys think any of those will fit my 07 2.5i Wagon?

I had an idea so I could save money. Buy a Tein front strut tower bar, and a rear sway bar, and would that give similar effect as front/rear sway bars?

What I'll probably end up doing is buying a front/rear sway bar kit, and buy this front strut tower bar I am looking into on another forum. Of course the strut tower bar is made by Tein, the best.

Here's what I'd do.

Don't spend a whole lot on aftermarket bars if you're not needing them. Find a cheap stock STi bar, and buy it.

that was my idea, what is the mm of the 07 STi sway bars (front and rear) and will they fit on my 07 2.5i wagon? i dont want to upgrade by 3 or 4 mm if that wont be worth my money.

STi bars will not fit.

Do not forget endlinks as you have plastic ones front and rear.

do not underestimate 2-3mm as stiffness is an exponential growth when compared to size.

You can't go too stiff due to the stock springs.

yes, i have a cusco rear sway bar and whiteline alloy endlinks on my 2.5i. if you need answers for suspension, take a look at this link, this will solve alot of your future questions, if your looking to upgrade more.
