FS: Subaru SPD (STi) 19mm front swaybar for WRX/STi (reduces understeer)

SPD (STi brand sold by Subaru) 19mm front ARB with bushings for WRX and STi.

Can be used to increase oversteer in STi, decrease understeer in WRX.

Used for about 4 months, daily driving on an '04 STi.

San Francisco Bay Area Peninsula. Prefer local buyer.

Name your price...

Big Sky wrote this about the 19mm front bar:

As I do a fair amount of my driving on gravel, I've subscribed to the bigger is not necessarily better theory. I was running bigger swaybars front and rear and while I could effectively alter handling bias, the larger bars were a concern in the bumpy stuff. I have since gone to a smaller 19mm front bar in conjunction w/ the oe rear bar (20mm). This setup for me was a vast improvemnent in the gravel and as a bonus was quite good at speed- very neutral. Bodyroll is minimal (uprated springs STi RA). At low speed stuff (autox) however I found myself wanting a little more rotation- just a little. I knew the "big" rear bars had the potential to be too much and didn't want the hassle of changing out bars either. Then the lightbulb came on- GC8 bars, low and behold a unamed company from Japan offered a 19,20,21 adjustable bar (actually closer to 19.5, 20.5, 21.5). Now I have a rear bar I can set low for gravle duties, a middle setting for track and a high setting for autox (this one works!).
