wrx/forester swaybars

I have a 03' wrx wagon with forester shocks and springs. i am looking to upgrade the sway bars including endlinks but don't now if i should use a forester sway bar set up or a wagon set up. i could also mis-match wagon sway bars with forester endlinks. i would love to see what the rest of the subie world would have to say. p.s sorry if i posted in the wrong spot. i looked everywhere and could not find help on the site.

First of all I wanna pics of that suspension setup! Lol. Second, I believe forester sway bars are wider than wrx sways( not in diameter but in length)

i believe the forester sway bars are the same as the sti not the wrx or at least my 04 is the same. The wrx uses the C shaped endlink if im not mistaken where as the forester uses the straight ish ones.

Ground clearance because you rally? In the bay area, I can't see wanting or needing more ground clearance.

I was thinking of going this route with the 04 wrx wagon. Either that or Forester Ground Control suspension with variable height.

Although as a DD I dont see too much snow, mud or dirt... I do go to the mountain, camping and long drives up to oregon where all driveways are gravel/mud.

Often times loaded down with a fair amount of people or gear.

So do I, and I have a big piece of property up north with a long gravel driveway, but the stock height is already pretty tall and plenty for gravel as long as it ain't bumpy. If off-roading, that's a different story. I have a big truck with a lift for driving around the property up there, but have been thinking about picking up a Fozzy for there too.

We hadn't gotten to the point of WHY you wanted them yet because you didn't mention any of that, so don't be a dick. In fact, I have a set of Perrin 22mm adjustable sways for sale in the classifieds right now, but not sure if they would work with the longer travel or not so you'd still need to figure that our first.
