We've been pretty busy lately working on some new parts for the 08 STI, but we're not done yet for the GD body style Impreza.

First, our new Racecomp Engineering Tarmac Zero Coilovers, our new more affordable coilover entry based on our highly successful RCE Tarmac 2s.

Built by KW Suspension in Germany to our specs, these use the same high quality stainless steel corrosion resistant construction as our RCE T2s.

The difference here is our Tarmac Zeroes have preset damping that maximizes both performance and ride quality. This allows the end user to just put them on and drive without worrying about playing with too many adjustments. It also keeps them more affordable. Ride height is still adjustable of course.

Linear spring rates:
400 lbs/in front
340 lbs/in rear

Front and rear helper springs included. Can be used with camber plates or Group N strut top mounts.

Next is our Racecomp Engineering Swaybars. We didn't try to reinvent the wheel here, just provide another option for GD Impreza owners looking for a swaybar set that will work well with stock springs, lowering springs, or coilovers.

Specifications:
25.5mm physical diameter
4142 Chrome Moly
Heat treated and cold finished.
Ends are hot forged on a 125 ton press.
Front and rear adjustable.
Washer tabs on front and rear to prevent walking

Finally color will probably be black.


The settings for the front are 25.5 and 28.5mm.

Rear are 25.5, 27.0 and 28.5mm. So you could run these and not have to go to a bar that is actually 27mm thick.

No we cant do them unpainted because they will rust eventually. We do have a original prototype if you want that. There is 3 holes 3 positions. You can actually give us a call at 410 579 1501.

I think you should just clearcoat those sway bars and sell them that way. NO ONE is doing that yet. Shoot... go old school and lindseed oil em... haaaa. Buyer beware.

Would the swaybars work for a 2003 WRX Sedan? If not, then are there any plans to make bars for the WRX as well?

Do you know how much travel is retained compared to stock 04-07 WRX suspension or KYB AGX? i'm looking for a different suspension setup since mine is very old and doesn't handle like it used to.

Ideally I would love to get whiteline group 4's but they don't seem to make those any more. I would like something comparable though for daily crappy bay area high way driving with the occasional back road drives and autox.
