I am finally getting my first true mod done this Friday. PeD is going to help me put on a Whiteline Adjustable Front Sway Bar!!!. I should be also getting my rear sway bar done very soon!!!. Mark
well its about damn time. your doing a good first mod! let me know when and where ill come by. what time on fri?
is there a pinstripe on your wagon? I always have the urge to remove them whenever I see them and could help you remove yours. -- Brian
What do y'all think of the pink STi ones SOA sells? I mean, they aren't that much more expensive, and, well, they're STi.
They ran me 180.00 with tax on my Suby bucks. JT, PeD is going to help me with this on Friday night. PM PeD for directions. See ya... Mark
Whitelines Brian, as I said in my post....LOL... I only could get the Front for now. This is actually my second install, as the boost gauge was first...It's getting addictive....I will probably get rear sways when I get my tax check...yay... Mark
You know that I don't have pinstripes on my wagon. They only do that at Ed Voyles Subaru, which is now defunct... Mark
06SilverBullet - please PM or email me email@tomhoppe.com, I wanna run something by you. I have a new front swaybar to test fit on a WRX Wagon. Its a 28mm adjustable big 'ol bar that would be the wagon's answer to the big Strano bar that the sedan's can use. This could be a great opportunity as you would already have your car apart for your front bar install. -Tom
Javid or Tom, Can you call me at home when you find out what the deal is?. If I have to pay for the bar, can I pay you when I get my income tax check?. Mark
send me your contact info again. I lost it during one of my "one crap my inbox is full, hot ladies are trying to pm me right now" pm deletion frenzies.
Thanks again PeD for a smooth install...Love the front sway bar. I can't wait to get the rear one. Keith, I hope that you can get everything done. You are really going to see a difference with springs and a sway bar!!. Mark
It felt great...especially when I was going downhill!!!. Thanks Alex....Next install DP and rear sway...woot..... Mark
The DP will be great for making more power. But are you going to have any tuning done with it? You'd get so much more out of the new piece with some ECU tuning. Plus I think Ecuteck may finally be catching up with the 06's.
Hey, I will probably get tuned eventually. I just don't have the funds right now for EcuTek or Cobb. Thanks for the reply...Hoooaaaaaaa.....I know that I will probably go catless though... Mark
Thanks Brett....It was fun taking the ride in your wagon and thanks for all the good advice on suspension. I will be getting the rear sway bar and springs probably in April...I don't think I will ever be able to catch up to either of you both even with mods... Mark
i have my cobb rear sway bar and love it, but how would the front sway bar add to that do you think? would that be more bang for the buck rather than springs?
i cant say wether or not its more bang for the buck but i do know a front sway will help tremendously
I will prob. end up getting a Whiteline Rear SB 26-28 next week...Yay..I may even get a rear strut. Mark
id love the rear strut bar, but i use my wagon space. i may just get it and have it in for only autox
have you see whiteline's quickrelease bar? It has 2 clasps that can be flipped up to allow the center section to be pulled straight out in under a minute! Definately my choice and first recommend for wagon rear strut bars.
wish mine was like that, but mine isn't that bad. it's cf for the bling! and only takes a minute to unbolt... i use my wagon space all the time, it holds my huge 7-piece drumkit!!! http://www.solband.net/beechcustom.html WRXwagons are great for musicians that don't want to drive a freaking van.
What about H-braces guys?. Should I invest in these?. A friend of mine down here in FL. said that it may be a good investment. Any ideas on this?. Mark
ya, i haul around an upright bass for classical gigs and an electric bass and 70 pound bass amp for gigs with my band. i also end up carryin most of their guitarts/amps/electronics/pieces of the drum set that cant fit in the drummers svt focus. also, on the quick release. ive thought about it, but ive heard some that say it sounds better than it is. its extremely hard to get off unless the car is parked on a completely flat surface. parked on a hill at an angle? forgetaboutit its definitely a possibility i but it tho, even if it is just for autox use. so again, front sway or rear strut bar for my wagon first??
i would say front sway bar, then a rear sway bar or strut bar. as far as the quick release... i've never seen one, and don't know about the problems getting it off. here's a link to the one on mine and i have had no problem with removing it. http://www.sakarimotorsports.com/sakari/product_info.php?cPath=23_35_117_581&products_id=1535
i already have a rear sway from cobb. ive only heard about problems getting it off from one person, so maybe his bar was cut a bit longer or something. i guess ill grab a front sway next when i can.
