can you explain the differences b/n these products? Is BSR49 non-adjustable while the other 2 are, to varying degrees? Thanks.

BSR49 - non-adjustable 20mm
BSR49Z - adjustable 20mm
BSR49XZ - adjustable 22mm

B = bar
S = subaru (or saab or saturn or super; some "S")
R = rear

49 - who the hell knows, we haven't been able to figure out the pattern on the numbering

Z = adjustable
X = heavy duty
XX = 2 * heavy duty

So next question is are you going to sell a "Super Understeer Killer" package for the '08 consisting of the rear sway plus the Kartboy rear sway bar links?

Oh, and thanks for the explanation.

Can't do that yet. No KB links for the 08 yet. He and I have been talking about one hell of an idea he has for them, but he needs to get off is butt and do them.

do you think a rear endlink is necessary even with the WL sway bar brace (KBR15)?

The stock ones are rather weak looking. We didn't bend one before removing them, but they don't look great. The brace won't necessitate new endlinks. It is there to prevent fore and aft movement of the sway bar brackets.

Any idea when these swaybars will be available? I didn't think a WRX-sized sway would mount properly to the STI.

Do you have the BSF39XZ (24mm front) and BSR49XZ (22mm rear)? It looks like you only have the 20mm bars.

Cool. I get back from business on Wednesday.

Now, the ultimate question is whether you ship to Canada. Last time I asked (was looking for some bushings a couple years ago) you said that you don't. Has that changed?
