Received the 20mm sway bar and installed same. Functional flight complete, no discrepancies noted. I'll update when I can get on the Highway. Easy install once things were "loosened up".

Update 4-09-2018

 

After driving for several hours on the Highway, I feel that the 20mm Sway-bar corrects about 70% of what I expected, No negative harshness and much improved ride stabilization at higher speeds. Probably best "Bang for the Buck" and easy installation to boot.

Thanks for all who provided links etc.

ammcinnis, Back at ya...Bulldust...IDK if you've ever driven in Northern Maine, I95, Logging truck traffic, NOTHING there, if your not doing 80+, your endangering yourself by being passed by the trucks(not the best maintained Trucks either). OK, OK, the speed was faster than I usually drive but didn't feel excessive, fact and scope of this tread, the car feels flighty on the highway, (I've had other cars at those speeds and they didn't feel like that)

BTW, I have 225/45/18 new snow tires properly inflated

 

Soooo, I will post and let you know the results.

 

Pilot1226, YES, the rear of the car is wishy-washy, even at 70mph

I was going to order a set and put the Poly bushings in together with the RSB, but I would like a conclusive fix to the "Flight-e-ness", and changing two things at a time leaves me guessing which fixed the issue. More to come.

OK, I've had it. Ordered a 20mm RSB today. Went up north, average 75-85mph(limit 70, big deal), a bit windy too, whatever, the car was a handful, real squirley, could'a swapped ends if I wasn't REALLY careful, That's unsat. didn't they ever drive the car fast?? My first attempt at fixing what is obviously wrong. I'll Post results.

White, LGT, think it was an 07, rear spoiler. Lincoln Street, Lewiston Maine @ 12:22pm, I was in the black BRZ at the light. (Nice day, stretched the BRZ leg's)

^ now THAT's the Subie spirit!

Blue LGTL in Topsham, Maine, Stock rims, no spoiler, sounded stock. I was in the BSM BRZ waiting to get on 295N.

Urrrr... Truth is My Wife doesn't drive stick, after being together for 32 years, I give her what she wants. My 68 Chevelle convertible is stick, the LGT's are 5EAT, it's all good, I pick my battles.

Charcoal Black Silica, nice gold flake in it, super nice in the Sun. Have since put splash guards(OEM) front and rear and Invidia Cat back. Used the silensers that came with the kit, it's 6AT, Instant shifts, pretty sweet, wish my 5EAT would shift like that. Normally I wouldn't put the silencers in but the Automatic up shifts in non-sport mode so quickly, (fuel economy)makes a terrible drone.

BRZ pic as requested

White 05 LGT, really nice at Marks Mobile in Lisbon Falls, Maine. Spoke with owner, told him about this forum and gave him my #, I was with my Wife in the BRZ. Hope he joins!!

Nope, just got delivery last week after waiting since June!! Still like the LGT better, I don't have to be as "careful". IMO, the LGT rides better.
