Hi All,

I talk to someone that told me that I should go with the Sedan RSBs for my 04 wagon instead of the Helix RSB w/ endlinks. He said that I would get a bang for the buck with the Sedan RSB and stock endlinks. I tried searching but I don't think I typed it in right.

1. Has anyone tried this Sedan RSB w/ stock endlinks on a wagon?
2. How is it?
3. What is your opinions on this Sedan RSB w/ stock endlinks instead of the Helix RSB w/ Helix endlinks?

My driving style is just commuter with a few spirited driving moments after I drop off my kid at his school.

1. Yes, it is pretty common for people to go with the sedan RSB and stock endlinks. You can often pick up a sedan RSB from the classified section. All you need besides the RSB is the bushings and you are good to go. It is also one of the cheapest ways to get a noticeable improvement in the handling.

2. This mod will dial out a lot of the understeer and make the car more neutral handling.

3. The OEM endlinks are plastic. They flex and bend more than aftermarket alloy ones. This means that there will be less delay in the RSB doing its job while cornering. You might also want to note that if you new RSB is larger than your FSB, then you actually giving your car oversteer.

 

it is done quite often. the sedan RSB is larger than the wagon one. so switching to a sedan one would help out. but even still going with the helix w/ solid endlinks will make an even larger improvement.

considering you can pick up a used rsb off a sedan for like $40, you can't beat it for the price, but for the $230 or whatever it is for the RSB w/endlinks from helix makes a huge difference.

 

Considering my driving style which one would you recommend? Sedan RSB w/ stock endlinks OR Helix RSB w/ Helix Endlinks?

1. I was told Sedan RSB fits the best for WRX wagons.
2. What about the STi RSB? Will those fit on a wagon?

1. Rear swaybars off a late 03-05 sedan is the same as the stock wagon swaybar.
17mm (02-early 03 sedan bars are 20mm)

2. Sti swaybars are about 2 inches longer and will not fit a wrx.

 

if you don't want to spend the money, you can always upgrade the swaybar and do the endlinks at another time. it still makes a huge difference. most people just do them at the same time since you are already taking off the swaybar and endlinks, might as well do both at the same time
