Just noticed, posted in the wrong Series section. DOh! Please move to 2008+ if possible. Still open to hearing back either way

My current set up is the GTWorx/Bilsten w/ black RCE springs combo, 08+ sti 19mm RSB, Cusco front endlinks, and Kartboy rear endlinks. Front Cusco Strut and Rear Strut bars. Front camber is -1.8, and rears (non-adjustable) are at -2. It's a nice set up, but there's more roll in the front than I'd prefer and find myself starting to fight with the car on long freeway entrance/exit sweepers.

As I have a trackday coming up in Sept, I'd like to make some adjustments. So I'm thinking to upgrade the front sway bar to help reduce the roll. Supposedly the oem front on 11+ wrx is 21mm. However I read about another guy who measured on his 2012 WRX and found it at 22mm and believes this is the "upgraded/stiffer suspension changes Subaru did for the 2012+". Not sure if true.

I was looking at the Cusco 23mm bar, solid. Hesitant to pull the trigger since it's pricey, non-adjustable, and not the thickest but honestly I'm attracted by the Japanese r&d for a Japanese car with . There are larger 24mm and 25mm adjustable options -- whiteline and cobb to name a few.

Or, scrap upping the front sway and try another fix? Good coils aren't in my budget right now. hmm...?

I'd get a front strut brace and a front subframe brace. That might help out a lot

These are the two that I am saving up to buy:

RCE has 25.5mm adjustable front and rear sway

I have no experience myself but I hear good things about doing the fender cowl brace.

Oh yeah totally forgot to add I have both front and rear Cusco struts..
Am considering the Lower Arm Bar + Bigger Front Sway and see how that might go.

Was looking into theirs, but I read it's primary meant for stock ride height. posted a question on RSD about applying these to my set up.

Hmm, I've only seen these for earlier models tho, not sure it makes a difference for 2011+, or if available for those years.

Let me know RCE's reply cuz I'm running the same set up with Yellows and looking into sway bars was thinking of RCE or Whiteline 24mm

Reducing roll would call for a bigger sway bar.

I like Whiteline, so I'm going to suggest one of their bars.

I just want to add that you may also want to get a bigger rear if you get a bigger front. I currently have stock 19mm bar in the front and a 22mm Whiteline bar in the rear and I am loving the characteristics of my set-up. Considering that we have the similar chassis you'd probably see good results with a similar set-up.

all right so the only replied update I got back on the RCE sways are that they'll fit. Nothing in regards to how well they pair with the GTWorx set up.

So after some thinking I originally opted for the WL adjustables 22mm F, and 20mm R. Ordered online and these sizes turned out to be back ordered til Sept, so customcarscentral called and gave me to the option to go with similar adjustable sizes - the Perrin 22mm F and 19mm R, for cheaper too.

Long story short, after some comparisons, I decided to go a little bigger and mismatch brands based on what I feel best fits my set up and needs: WL 24mm F & Perrin 22mm R, both adjustable. Only difference in cost was +$10.00.. which was waived, so I didn't have to pay anything extra

Also ordered the Cusco Front Lower Arm Bar Type II -- more of a bling buy IMO since it looks badass.


Anyone interested in an STi Sway Bar Rear 2010-2011 19mm (20451FG020/20464FG020)?
