Ok, are there any specific brands for sway bars that i should avoid? I'm getting the hint on the white line end links

i notice they make sways as well would that be a good choice or does anyone have a better opinion?

sweaty · 07-29-2010

i have WL's 24mm ajustable front and rear sways. the get the job done, but they tend to rust like dirty little ****ers.

Fc · 07-30-2010

I'm thinking about staying away from adjustable only because if i get something i can change i will never like how it feels and constantly change it all the time.

Seraphinwolf · 07-30-2010

Adjustable is what you want trust me. Swaybars are best with a choice.

mdungelman · 07-30-2010

Get an adjustable RSB. Its nice to be able to control your oversteer. Especially in winter.

Aczwild · 07-30-2010

Here was my setup and I loved it (I'll be buying the same brands/types of parts for my Impreza)

Cusco Carbon Fiber Front Strut Tower Brace
Racecomp Engineering Tarmac 1 Coilovers w/ Spec B tophats (KW V2 Coilovers)
Cusco Front Under Bracing
Cusco Rear Under Bracing
Kartboy Front Endlinks
Whiteline 22mm Front Adjustable Swaybar
Whiteline 22mm Bushings
Kartboy Rear Endlinks
Whiteline 20mm Rear Adjustable Swaybar
Whiteline 20mm Bushings
AVO Rear Swaybar Reinforcement Brackets
235/40/18 Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Specs on 18x8.5 Linea Corse Lemans wheels

If you are upgrading your rear sways, you must get the AVO Rear Sway Reinforcement Brackets. The stock brackets are crap and when you stiffen everything up, it can get ugly. Kartboy are the best endlinks for at least the Legacy crowd and I highly, highly recommend skipping the struts and springs and going with Racecomp Engineering's Tarmac V1 Coilovers if you really want to have fun and feel how tight the car can be. They are specifically set up for the Legacy and are a world of difference. That being said, I recommend a Strut tower bar at least in the front to tie everything together as it is noticeable when removed.

Whiteline + Kartboy = FTW!!!

I'll take that into serious consideration thank you.

Those coilovers alone exceed my suspension mod budget lol! And since i don't think my LGT is going to see any track time i'll stick with the cheaper struts/springs combo for now.

This is the list that i put together earlier,

240$ End Links http://www.fredbeansparts.com/index....end-links.html

340$ front and rear sways http://www.fredbeansparts.com/index....sway-bars.html

270$ Struts http://www.fredbeansparts.com/index....t-strut-s.html

230$ Springs http://www.fredbeansparts.com/index....g-springs.html

90$ Re-enforcement brackets http://www.fredbeansparts.com/index....-brackets.html

Total 1170$

Does this list look alright?

tacoornot · 07-30-2010

Good list. Now call subimods and get it ordered!

Fc · 07-31-2010

I did subimods for my DP and CBE and it was very difficult to get the stuff shipped to my APO address since i live in germany, and it cost me 350$ shipping and stuff got stuck in customs and had to pick it up (3 hours away).

Fredbeansparts however didnt charge me shipping for my TMIC, i'm still waiting for it but i think i'll stick with them for now.
