In for the results!

 

You got me interested now lol

 

I will let you know I am doing a bunch of research.

Are the sway bars on our Legacy's interchangeable with a 97 Impreza OB Sport? A friend might be picking one up soon and we wanted to see if it was possible to upgrade the OBS sways by swapping from a parts car.

 

I don't believe so. Buddy has a 97 OBS was a different sway bar setup then what I got. On the rear that is.

I hear if you get the USDM 04-06 STI ones its well worth it. It gives around 2 degrees of caster.

 

I am going to give it a try here in the next month or two. Found a bent control arm. So might as well upgrade. Gives it a wider track.

did some research.they do bolt up.just need sti endlinks. not the ball joint looking ones. and different front bushings or grind them a little.

Sti control arms. Do they bolt right up?

93-01 Impreza Front

02-07 WRX Rear

 

If I remember right.

Tore the girlfriends car apart. Cant believe people who touch cars. Mexicants especially.

 

Last owner of her car tried to do some stupid shit. Surprised the car even ran.

 

New HG's, Seals, 220 Cams and the usual maintenance.

what kind of rear 22-25 sway bar do you have? ....the tribeca 25 fits a 2nd gen front??

 

I have the Rallitek rear bar.

 

I also do have the tribeca bar. It mounts on the outside of the endlinks. Was kind of a pain to install only due to bushing fitment. If you have an L I guess the bushing mounts are different.

 

If you have the GT I would get the "Energy Suspension" 25mm bushing kit. $15-20.

+1 to that. With my new wrx suspension, ralitek endlinks, and rear sway my car is a beast in the corners.

 

O and thaks for the alignment info.

 

You bet all the suspension stuff helps.

 

I now have 04 STI struts and springs. 22-25 Rear sway bar. 25 Tribeca front bar.

 

Solid endlinks all around.

 

It is NIGHT and DAY difference from the WRX strut to the STI strut.

Anyone else know?

If these fit the 4th gen Legacy. Wouldn't they fit 2nd gens?

Would these subframe bolts work?

WTF

Adam on Ebay look up "Fatmat" it's cheaper then dynamat and I have read it works just as good.

 

I am going to do my entire floor and all the doors.

Loving the OB. How is the ride on them? Adjustability? Anything you can say about them.

If you were closer I would help out!

If you're getting a set of coilovers you should just be able to pull the brake line off the strut, 3 bolts at the top hat, 2 bolts at the knuckle. Lift and remove. Easy I have done this at least 10 times now.

Possibly. Camber bolts are cheap though. ~$15 or so.

did you ever pull your first cat?

 

Or has anybody else pulled either of their cats?

 

I pulled my muffler about a week and a half ago and it was just loud... put me on the market for a nice cat back but I didn't notice any power difference. it just heated my rear diff pretty good.

 

 

 

RalliTEK is making the Rear Sway Bar again... or its at least on the site...

 

Not yet. Trying to decide what I need to do exactly.

So I decided to test my 0-60 time. It's BARELY under 10 seconds. I have a catback and hybrid intake with MSD and grounding kit.

 

It's official. These 2.2 motors are piss ass slow. A 93 Civic EX can do a 0-60 in almost 8 seconds flat (my friends, which mind you is STOCK!)

 

I think it's time to get out of the Subaru world. It's too much about turbos.

Okay so I can get rid of the first cat?

I have a feeling my cats are going. When I pull a hill I smell sulfur. It's a pretty damn strong smell too.

 

I have heard things about people removing their first cat because it doesn't do all that much and just putting in a new piece of pipe and getting a High Flow Cat for the 2nd cat.

 

Anyone?

Rear sway bar is 18mm from our stock L 14mm. So it is an upgrade and one I am glad I did. Just need the bushings and the bar. No need for different endlinks.
