Aluminum control arms for wagon

I have the WRX Wagon. Does anyone know of a place to get aluminum front control arms for it? Or can I buy the sedan control arms, front sway bar, and end links and install all of them on my wagon?

The sedan control arms won't fit on the wagon. However, I think people have mentioned that the wagon suspension is essentially the same as the GC8s so any made for those will work...

I know the sedan control arms are not a direct fit. The only difference I am aware of between the two are the mounts for the front sway bar. That's why I asked if it's possible to fit the aluminum control arms on the wagon if I change the sway bar and associated hardware.

I think AV sport put the aluminum control arms on a wagon. Give them a call.

I have them and didn't really notice much difference, but they are kewl.

Wagons have differrent track width than sedans, so you'd either get crazy camber or funky roll centers with sedan control arms, aluminum or no. I'd just find other ways to change your alignment settings.

Baoh,
As BAN SUVS said the track on the wagon is different than the sedan and the lower arms are physically wider for the sedan. I believe the statement about the GC aluminum control arms fitting is correct since they share many of the same suspension components. Unfortunately I am unable to give you a solid yes. Just my .02
