sick!! nice purchase. as for oem sways you can use the sti 20mm with their mounts and that will work fine. Since you are lowered you will have to use impreza sway for the rear as well as the mount because the oem fxt sway bar mounts are too tall and throw off angles and geometry. Ive done all of this. come out to fremont meet one night and we can talk haha. I have the white fsti. Welcome to the turbo forester family hahah.
btw i love your rims....always loved those enkei's

Pretty much everything STI fits. Same endlinks, front bar is already the same AFAIK. I have the 20mm STI rear with Whiteline links/mounts/supports on mine.
Rear bar is the same as the rest of them, but the front is different and specific to the wagon. It will not fit any other model.
Yup, which is why I didn't go that low, though when I switch to the coils I will likely go a little lower than the Swifts dropped it.
