Jaxx Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 02-03 wrx front sway same as 05 Legacy? according to progress suspension it is .. i will take them off this afternoon and take a pict they have different part numbers at progress but that is what i got and that is what i was supposed to get according to rich @precision tuning edit: so after playing with front sways all afternoon here is what i came to the 05 legacy turbo front bar is very simmilar to the wrx front sway bar. close enough to count anyway (see picts in post #5) the main difference is the bushings.. the wrx bushing uses a bushing with a raised ridge in it. the legacy uses a channeled bushing so for ease a wrx front sway +new bushings = legacy turbo front sway bar i some how ended up with 2 extra sets of 24mm bushings for legacy. so if any one else wants to try this pm me -j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxx Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 1/4 inch of clearance 24mm setting is not possible (edit- yes it is read below) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03Indigo Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 does not look totally right to me, maybe you should send him the pics and ask him what is up. Seems to me that all the other sways are a much closer match to the OEM shape and width. With what you have there, looks like you might be putting too much pressure on the end link and that may cause premature failure. If it were me, I would NOT put that on my car....send it back and get it worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxx Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 so i played with it some more the progress mounts are slotted so i moved the whole assembly forward another 1/4 of an inch so the 24mm setting will work right now there is no tension on the end links .. like its supposed to ??the directions from progress said to do it in the air with the wheels off?? i used ramps like your supposed to gonna go drive it i guess i am more pissed that i basically gave away a 02 front sway bar last week other pic is the springs and rear bar with gc8 eibachs in the background anyone need a set?

Jaxx Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 well i took it for a drive when down the pot holed dirt alley that always made the whiteline bar on my wrx foul.. no contact seems ok at rest on the ramps the end links are perfectly straight up and down i remembered that i have a stock front wrx swaybar .. at least i know progress wasn't too far off legacy on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb175 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hey, I got the front and rear bars from Progress also. The front that I got is also stated for a 02-03 WRX. Install looks the same as well. Hmm, sent you a pm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxx Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 i found the rattle. seems some droped a screw driver its sitting inbetwen the frame rail and headder melting one of the draw backs of the under trey so i offically declair the front sway bar approved with the right bushings edit- nope not any more hits the control arm due to bushing flex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
