    2008+ rear sway bar

    Has anyone tried to fit the 2008+ rear sway bar on the 818 yet? it's a much straighter bar, and when eyeballed it might just fit. I don't have one off a car but I will ask around.

    for those looking to do a trunk up front, this might give you a little more room/symmetry.

    Has anyone tried this? Or at least found another bar that'll work. I'm not too enthused with how the '06 WRX bar fits, as it's asymmetrical and causes my tire to scrub the endlink when turning to the left. I have a full tight radius to the right.

    Nope still on my list. I ask everyone I see with a 08+ if they still have their stocker. so far no such luck, and i'm not ready to buy one.

    Isn't it designed for the 02-07 style bar? The widths on the 08+ style bar and 02-07 style bar are far different with the 08+ style bar being 4 or 5 inches more narrow.

    I'll see if I have any laying around the shop to compare.

    Yeah, I measured an 08+ WRX bar today. It's too narrow at the mounting points.

    Bummer, I was hoping with the long endlinks it could be angled to work. oh well.
