will 03 bars fit 04 wagon?

Will an STI (prolly replica) front strut tower bar and a cusco front swaybar off an 03 sedan fit my 04 wagon?

And will the swaybar still fit fine with Eibach springs?

Do I need to upgrade my endlinks for the front swaybar? I heard the 04s' were better from the factory.

The front should fit (I'm assuming the 04 sedan and wagon have the same engine bay). The 03 front and rear sedan strut bars fit fine on my 04. Not sure about the rear wagon bar, though...

yeah I am pretty sure both the rear strut and sway bars are different on the 04 wagons. I assume the front is the same but figured I should double check.

You will have to use the '04 bushings on the sway bar (rear for sure) since they redesigned the bushings and brackets on the '04. They might be a bit tight on a cusco bar, but you could always trim the bushing if all else fails.

Or you could pick up the 04 mounting brackets for about $30.
