shtbxr22 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I just picked up the tribeca front bar @ a whopping 25mm. yeehaw. these are pre install pics. i will post after to confirm they all fit together. it's a front tribeca bar, front tribeca bushings, and rear forester endlinks. pre-paint: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m194/star91281/0505091347.jpg post-paint w/ decal: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m194/star91281/0505091534.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osei Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 and what size is your rear bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawlwawl06 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 whoahhh hope that doesn't trigger too much understeer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shtbxr22 Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 and what size is your rear bar? my rear bar now is whatever is stock on the GT. tomorrow, my 25mm perrin one will be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.sane Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hmm, you'll probably experience some oversteer with the car now. Perrin is a solid bar IIRC and OEM bars are usually hollow, so your front is probably equivalent to a 22-23mm solid bar. Anyhow, Ill wait for a review!

shtbxr22 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 install complete, and only one modification needed to the tribeca bushing. everything else is just bolt on. total retail price for all the parts is $179.87 I paid less because I work at subaru, but this is the only 25mm bar you will ever find for our N/A cars. handling is much more flat, and reactive. go get one NOW!!! http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m194/star91281/0507091616.jpg shave the bushing: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m194/star91281/0507091351.jpg parts list: (1) 25mm tribeca bar: 20401XA00A (2) Forester Rear end links: 20470SA011 (2) Tribeca sway bushings: 20414XA01A Retail-$179.87 see if you can score a deal with the parts dept.

NORULZleggy Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Mmmm I like the ideal of the bar, but those endlinks look pussy. I would like to see that bar with the AVO or ralliTek endlinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see that bar with the AVO or ralliTek endlinks. well if it makes any difference, I have replaced many of the "pussy" ones on the front and rears of legacies, but have yet to replace these ones for the rear of a forester. they don't wear out. I'm sure they may wear out sooner when attached to a 25mm bar, but I feel they are pretty stout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socallegacy Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Anyone else doing this? im running swift front&rear i think they are both 25mm slight kocking in the front from the exhaust pipe but other then that i love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhatV8 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Interesting setup using some factory parts to boot. shtbxr22, how does your car handle now (i.e.- understeer, neutral, oversteer)?? Also, have you had a chance to try it out on a road course/track? Reason I ask is how much you changed the ratio of the front to rear bars. I know that our cars are tuned toward understeer for safety sake, but I prefer a more neutral layout. Bringing the rear bar closer to the front bar stiffness will achive that, but going too far will bring to toward the oversteering realm. If you aren't ready for that you can get yourself in some trouble. When I bumped up the RSB on my SVO it brought it from understeer central to a nice even neutral setup, where I can steer with my throttle if I need to. That would be nice to replicate on my 2.5i.

shtbxr22 Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 well, to me it feels quite neutral. I have a 25mm perrin in the rear on full stiff with stout mounts, and kartboy endlinks. the front is what is listed previously. springs are tein S-tech, just for reference because I didn't have the sways with stock springs. also, the car out handles my comfortability level on the street (off ramps), so she needs to go get flogged at the track so I can give you guys a complete synopsis. on a nice backroad one time I got the ass to come out a little, but I had to try for it.
