subieguy21 Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Now that I look at them, can anyone confirm the fitment for adjustable Perrin rear sway bar links from a 15+ WRX? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarang Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Why would you even need those? Are your stock ones bad? I'm very happy with my MOOG rear links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subieguy21 Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 I don't need them. My stock ones are not bad, though a little rusty. I am just a very particular individual and like things to match, and I like how beefy the Perrin ones are. To illustrate how particular I am, I replaced every bolt, stud and nut and gasket in my exhaust system just so the hardware wasnt as rusty Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutchard Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Adjustable endlinks are a headache. Resist your OCD and go with Moog or OEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLlegacy Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I don't understand the 15+ wrx sway bar recommendation. Subaru has made a 20mm sway bar for the wrx for many years...long before 2015... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not talking about stock bars, I am saying there has always been a subaru branded 20mm sway bar for the impreza, I believe it was a performance add on or spt part. It was available before 2015 is my point, it didn't just appear it was available before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLlegacy Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 It was the previous gen of Impreza, my bad! But it was made and it was OEM. https://www.fastwrx.com/products/subaru-oem-20mm-rear-sway-bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subieguy21 Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Off topic here, but will a Perrin lightweight crank pulley fit the FB engine? It fits all of the EJs Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subieguy21 Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 I wouldn't say that entirely rules it out. The rear suspension parts cross over from a WRX but you know, WRX does not equal Legacy Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 If it fit the FB series it would be listed as such, the suspension on Subarus has a long history of being similar or identical in many areas across the lineup. As the SGP takes over expect that to continue and probably become more inclusive. This is probably what you are looking for, you should verify fitment before ordering though. https://www.flatironstuning.com/p-2932-perrin-lightweight-crank-pulley-for-brz-2015-16-wrx-fafb-engine.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subieguy21 Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 Alright, so the crank pulley from all images I have found, looks like it will bolt on. I noticed on the 6th gens (same motor I believe the FB) that an additional bolt or part is required to install? And then as for the water pump pulley, that defibitely looks like what is on my car, but is the diameter the same?

Sarang Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 If I were you, I would post the question in a similar thread in the sixth gen forum. If it is the same engine code, I would probably be confident enough to order it were I in your shoes. That said, I have seen many places on several forums that people claim that these pulleys are more trouble than they're worth and only make a difference free reving in neutral.

vhtran Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I don't want to give you a negative thinking but I rather not do anything to the 2.5i's engine, not worth the headache. Suspension and lighting are enough for me. Unless you haven't got it, invest your $200 to upgrade your headlights with retro kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgoodhue Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I just dont want to spend 200 bucks and then have cool aluminum paperweights IMO save your money. I have a LWCP on my EJ 2.5i. I used a G-tech before and after the install and I couldn't come up with any measurable results. My thought for the 1st few days was it was a complete waste of money. After cooling down after a couple days (I had also bent a rim on the post install test drive), it did seem to little better throttle response in 1st and 2nd gears (6MT). It isn't worth the money. I am getting ready to sell my 2.5i. I even was thinking about just leaving it on the car, but I will probably remove it since it isn't that hard to uninstall. I won't bother putting it on my GT until I do the timing belt. Easily this is the worst money I have spent on my 2.5i... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgoodhue Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 ^^ The crank pulley won't fit your GT. It should fit as it was advertised for a GT. I figured out the 2.5i 6MT use the same crank pulley from the Subaru part numbers. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/5th-gen-light-weight-crank-pulleys-229778.html Either way no big loss if it doesn't fit...

GTEASER Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 My mistake, the 2.5i with the EJ does share a pulley with the GT. GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
