    Sway bar bushings?

    So the rear sway bar is used in the front with the front hardware. So where do you get a bushing that is 17mm (rear) when the stock front bushing is made for a 20mm bar. Can't find it online. Everything seems to be larger.

    I installed my rear 17mm swaybar with the stock rear hardware.
    The FFR mounting bracket can take either the old 2002 bracket with the hook on one side and the bolt on the other side, or the alternative bracket with the two bolts.

    Harley, most of us found that our stock mounts wouldn't work. My 05 WRX mounts were at an angle on both sides, even if cut and flattened the holes could not align, best/easiest is the aftermarket generics, new bushings and they are stiffer too

    I have a set of new Poly sway bar bushings that I don't need if someone is in need.

    I have 2007 WRX donor and the sway bar brackets are angled and will not seat flat against the 818 bracket on the front of the chassis. I ordered Prothane (19-1116) Universal Sway Bar Bushings - 17mm which include the bracket. I purchased thru Amazon and there was a comment in a review on Amazon about how someone used these on their FFR 818 project. Just thought I'd post in case someone sees this thread. The donor brackets clearly do not work from some later model WRXs.
