Thumbs up

I have front and rear Cobb swaybars on my 04' wrx sedan and 05' legacy gt wagon. Funny thing is the 04+ wrx's supposedly recieved befier bars than the previous model though im not sure of the truth behind that. Either way i notice a great difference on both, the car feels flatter upon cornering and smoother. Cobb is a great company who knows what their doing. Cusco is also a good company but i dont know how good they are on wrx's. If your looking for a gain in performance without losing too much wet traction than the Cobbs are the way to go.

I'm using PROGRESS adjustable rear-sways on my 03 WRX (they come with hardened mounts too) and i am happy with my purchase.

i said color of my car..the bar is silver, but it was a little long for my endlinks so i bolted it onto the outside of my endlinks i dont know if that is dangerous though. the car handles great now tho!

As long as its securely connected I dont see why that would be a huge issue. Are you using stock endlinks? Aftermarket? Installed properly?

im on stock end links(not for long). yea theyre on the side closest to the wheels but its pulling them inwards a little bit like bending the stock plastic ones. it rides fine and if im not the only one with then that way i think ill be ok. thanks man.

is your whiteline FSB p/n BSF12? i thought whiteline makes wagon specific front sway bars so the length is right which won't make the end links bend or misaligned, cuz i am going to get one soon, i want to know.
