BeKnwn Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I know this kinda a revive from the dead but just wanted to add some info from persomal experance this last week and it applies to the 3rd gens but could be useful for others. So for the people who are going to buy the energysuspension bushings get the non greasable ones cause the whole size/dia. Is a lot smaller then the greasable ones which pushes the bar out a little more then it should be causing it to rub on my borlas even with a double gasket to push it away I can add pics later to show what I mean but this info could probably save someone 60bucks on gaskets and bushings an couple hours of they time wasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octain11 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 i went to the local subaru dealer to order one, and they guy was giving me a hard time because i didnt have a vin number for a tribeca, then i told him i dont have a tribeca and refused to order one for me, i am looking around the other forums for the sway bar no luck yet, anyone else have this problem at a dealer?

BeKnwn Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Your dealer is dumb lol just used the p.n. I had no issues with mine I'm good friends with them. only problem is they are probably the most expensive one in the country lol everyone here is getting theirs for like 60-70 bucks I had to pay like 97 bucks for mine, 110 with tax sucked might as well just ordered it from a subaru site lol.

What's your full suspension mod list? For end links, most people would say Kartboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh, I see. You mentioned the strut bars, which is not necessary for the sway bar setup, so I thought you meant suspension mods in general. If your Whiteline rear sway bar comes with polyurethane bushings, I would suggest wrapping your rear sway bar with teflon tape (it's cheap, you can get it from any hardware store like Lowe's, Home Hardware, Rona, etc) where the sway bar bushing would go. A generous amount of grease inside the bushing would help too. This will prevent squeaking. It'll look something like this: http://photos.motoiq.com/MotoIQ/Project-Cars/Project-S2000/JEF5052/901267635_Fc6vf-L-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegaLude Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 This is in the future, but is there any alternative for the RSB? When I look online they're all about $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegaLude Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 All right, no lie. It happened tonight. And the majority of the endlink nuts were impossible to remove. They required a cutting wheel... I replaced the rear endlinks as well, even though I didn't put an upgraded sway bar on. http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k433/Prerude/IMG_2284.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k433/Prerude/IMG_2289.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k433/Prerude/IMG_2291.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k433/Prerude/IMG_2292.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.sane Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Awesome. What kind of end links are those? I'll be joining the 25mm Front Sway Bar Club soon, paired with an AVO 20mm rear sway bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soloz2 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I'm thinking about doing this too. I love the look of my car right now but hate the ride so I'm probably going to pull my eibach springs and go back to stock. I have a JDM RSB and love how the car feels balanced now.

I'll be joining the 25mm Front Sway Bar Club soon, paired with an AVO 20mm rear sway bar I need to get the rear as well, and looking into other rigidity points.

N.sane Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I agree that lowering springs with Koni's does not offer good ride quality; however, I don't think it's either products' fault. I believe the problem lies in the fact that the OEM suspension design does not offer sufficient suspension travel. Stock springs with Koni's and OEM JDM rear sway should be a great combo for a daily driver. I'm thinking about doing this too.

LegaLude Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 It certainly depends on what tools you have at your disposal. We had the whole shebang. Lets just say in the repertoire of what was used was an air impact, hammer, and grinder. The lift made it much easier for using all the muscle (before resorting to destruction). The concept itself is easy, but the fact that the nuts are rusted on; it might as well have been welded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
