just put on a 20 mm rear sway
this is what i looked like first time i took a corner . i had what looked like a 13mm on before. the difference is so amazing i cant really describe it. it turns way faster, way better, way smoother. and it only cost $87 shipped to my door!

I did this two weeks ago also. If you have a wagon, you went from 17 to 20mm. I agree that it makes a HUGE difference in the way the car turns.
I got mine for $50 used though, the stock one off a sweet LIC'd unicorn.

OEM WRX RSBs are 17mm and 20mm. The STI pink RSB that you can get from SPT is 21mm. Most aftermarket RSBs (Cusco/Whiteline/Helix) are adjustable and range from 21-24. Major difference other than price between OEM and aftermarket is size and adjustability.

I added an '02 20mm sedan to my '04 wagon. It's great. I also added front and rear strut braces and 4 point lower control braces, and 17x7.5 rota tarmacs w/ 225/45/17. To say it handles great is an understatment.

i bought mine here from subiegal (jaime) she's the parts manager and the price is fan-freakin-tastic! ordered mine and total came to $87.74 (with shipping and everything) its $77 for the bar itself...IMO id rather just buy the subaru brand rather than a cusco or whiteline thats solid since you're paying for the brand name essentially

she was even pretty cool to talk over the phone to get a few suggestions

it rained today and messed around in corners trying to get the back end to slide around a bit. all i got was severe understeer. check back at my nasioc car part review for much more info. (http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...99#post9656699)
i beleive the understeer was from inflating my tires up to summer specs. but im not sure.
