Default Rear anti roll bar

Would an OEM MY06 STi anti roll bar fit straight on to a newage WRX or is the suspension completely different?

WRX Model year required ?

I don't know if a late model WRX uses the same set-up as the STI, myself.

Sorry

I was going to sell my old one and just wanted to know which cars it could be useful for.

Yeah, I have had a rear adjustable whiteline ARB fitted, drop links all around, upgraded bushes on the front and steering rack. It was already on Prodrive springs. Has completely transformed the handling of the car. I'm especially impressed with the steering. it no longer feels light, but precise and the car feels planted and the feedback in bends is 100% better. Best modification since the remap.

Totally agree. I've got uprated adjustable front and rear ARBs, Prodrive springs and good geometry setup and it's absolutely transformed. Only wish I'd had it done earlier!

Recently fitted a Whiteline rear 24mm arb to my 96 Sti Wagon. As everyone says, it's a total handling transformation.

Very little roll, flatter, more precise and much better overall grip

It's got to be a must upgrade for anyone.

Hi
It will not fit at any WRX which has less distance between the rear mounting pionts
