07outbackXT

Just installed the Cobb Fr and Rr sways on my 07 OBXT - so far no issues.

Of note, I previously owned a WRX wagon and had a set of Cobb Sways for that vehichle - when I sold the WRX, I removed the sways and have been trying to sell them. At the time, I didn't realize that Cobb used the same front swaybar for all Subaru's, so I bought another set, this time of the 05+ LGT bars. After receipt of the new bars, I read that they were indeed the same bar. What was interesting was that when I held the old WRX bar against the new LGT bar, the old bar was ~ 1/2" longer, so I used that one instead of the new one.

After install, I have had zero clunking AND with Velo's washer solution, I have had zero issues, and the angles of the stock endlinks look very acceptable (almost vertical). Also, of note, I have only used one set of washers (1 per side), Velo recommends 2 washers per side. As a precaution, I also installed the collars to prevent the bar "walking from side to side", but based on the endlink angles, I don't think they are necessary. So far so good (looking for some wood).

In terms of performance - The vehichle feels much more stable at high speeds, cornering is improved - feels like more power is hitting the pavement, and none of that sea-sick ocean motion anymore.

Oh yeah, and I am still on stock rubber, so it will only improve when I replace the treads.

Just got off the phone with Cobb, there is no known release date for revised front bars for the OBXT. Looks like Velo's solution is the way to go if you want to use Cobb's bars.

BTW, great write-up. Thanks again....

Just joined the forum today.

In December, I traded in my O5 WRX Wagon for an 07 OB XT wagon. I swapped from manual to auto, stuck with the Obisidian Black Pearl.

Nice to meet everyone, look forward to a few mods, but nothing major. First performance mod will be the sway bars.

I've already searched and read some great feedback from this forum on the swaybar topic.
