I was wondering about the front sway bar. The stock one is suppose to be 19 mm, is that right? If so, can a wrx 20 mm front sway bar can be install on a STI?

ya, the cusco i just ordered was the same for the wrx as it is for the STi. people are suggesting the 22mm though w/ a larger rear bar also.

I was thinking to put a fornt at 20mm just a bit stiffer but not much. As for the rear it really need something, I got a 22-24-26mm whiteline in order at Lachute.

umm.. how does the mm effect it? 19mm vs 26mm?

[capaSTi]

many suspension gurus have found that changing both sway bars to the same mm helps keep the car controllable under extreme situations... ive heard this from cobb, cusco, hotchkis, and even our own FT...

to each his own though - just MO :wink:

I'd like to run 20mm front and 24 or 26 mm (when require) rear. I'd just like a easy cheap change for the front one. I can get the 20 mm for 60$ CAN...

You may want to uprade your mounts if you do 26mm, but I guess if you do not really ever utlize what the 26mm can provide, then you should be fine.

I'm not really sure you need to updrade the rear mount. If I compare my old RS, they have been reenforce. Anyway it's only for thing solo 2 course, so if I need to rotate the rear, I'll be able to do it easily.

I've got the Cobb front bar only--I can't upgrade the rear and stay Solo II Stock. It's a very nice piece with good, clear instructions. It really helped flatten out the turns and feels great in daily driving. Adds a little understeer, but nothing that can't be fixed for autoxing by pumping up the front pressure and keeping the rear low...I ran 48 front/32 rear at the last event.

Canadien rules are diferent. We are allow 2 points of mod in the class. Now, R's are 1 point, sway are 1 point each, different wheel size 1 point... So I'm still debating what I'm gone change on the car.
