I know I've seen a post about buying sway bar mounts & bushings for mounting the sway bar, but I can't find it now. Please give me a link or some clue for mounting an 06 WRX sedan rear sway bar. Thanks!

My 2005 ones from my donor fit fine.
Are folks using the stock rear sway bar? What about front?

The stock [WRX] rear sway bar is used in the front suspension of the 818. The 818 does not use a sway bar in the rear.
Rori, thanks. I bought the mounts on ebay.

i too have a 2006 wrx wagon donar. bent my oem brackets to fit the flat mount ffr provides but the passenger side of the sway bar is really tight with the other suspension parts.
driver side has ok clearance:

i have not done anything with my upper control arms so i can gain a little space there.....BTW where is a good starting point for the links of that upper control arm, the manual has very little info on adjustment, (pg 465 has info on toe,camber, and castor, but i have never done an alignment myself, just want to get it close to see if i need a different sway bar. i think the wagon has the extra bend to go around the muffler.
