Yeah, I wonder how long I will be able to stand it before I buy another Subie
The sway bar was on my car for a bit and then I put a bigger adjustable bar on for racing, I bought the springs from Don at PDM but tradded in my car before I had the time to install them.
I took the strut bar off before I sold the car.
All the stuff is here in Victoria but I have to go over to Van to see Don, so I could bring the stuff then or whatever. I am open to offers.
FWIW When I had my car I put the anti-lift kit in and whiteline endlinks (front and rear) poly bushings, swaybar mounts, strut bar good tyres and after careful alignment settings the car was very fast at auto-x and mini sprints (road course), so you can get that baby handling without too much money. I would have loved to try the springs but I did not have the chance, although the same springs made a big difference on my freinds stock RS.

when are you going to come to vancouver?
i'm interested in your swaybar (with endlinks/bushings?) and maybe even strutbar.
are you able to adjust the prices? i know they're fairly low already. but since my accident, i need to save up a bit. thx!

I am open to offers, especially if you are buying more than one item. Your impreza already has the endlinks for the swaybar so you won't need those anyways (the ones I have are stock but you can have them anyhow).
I most likely could make it to Vancouver on a weekend, let me know what works for you, I am hoping to get there in a couple of weeks from now.

Yeah, maybe the next next weekend since I have some family visiting for a couple of weeks.
The aftermarket end links that people install are slightly stronger than the stock ones but primaraly they have polyurethane bushings which make them less compliant and will cause the response of the sway bar to be a bit more immediate. It is like having a suspension that responds a bit quicker, it is subtle, but when used together with other parts, it can make a larger difference. You will also feel more road noise and vibration with polyurethane bushings (some like that and some don't).
Personally, I found that the swaybar and then good tires made a real big difference. I added other parts to further improve handleing.

so the 31st/1st? alrite. i'll meet ya then.
so stock works just fine? i've still got so much to learn. and my car needs better handling. since it's always raining and stuff in vancouver. my tires are really bad. i was thinking of trading my rims/tires to the gold 5-spoke ones. these ones are nice now, but they're too heavy. and i like the gold look. don't know how good it'll be with silver. but it's original.
nice car. here's some pics of mine
