Default Rear anti roll bar?

I'm going to have my rear anti roll bar repainted as it's seen better days but while I'm at it I fancy up rating to poly bushes. But as I'm not very technical (my mechanic is going to do the work) I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for the kit? My car is a MY05 STI widetrack and I'm keeping the standard anti roll bar.

Cheers in advance

Polybush or powerflex think one of these do a full kit

Yeh I have been looking at the kits but does anybody know what size I need? Spent ages on google, here and looking at the various kits but I can't find anywhere that states what size I need to order. The thing what's confusing is because it's the widetrack model will it be the same as the hawk as the rear end is the same setup or did they leave the suspension track etc same as the early blobs?

Can you not just measure the bars thickness? Also have you though about having the bar shot blasted and powder coated? It would be better then paint which will probably chip easily. It's not expensive either.

That's what I am going to do, I have dropped two of my wheels off at metal magic as they were a little scuffed an I wanted them perfect so when I pick them up I'm going to drop my RARB off there and get it shot blasted and powder coated before refitting

I'll have to get under the car and measure it but wasn't sure if the bar ends looked smaller where they slotted into the bushes :/
