Rear should fit no problem as thats what i fitted on my 04 wagon, made the ride slightly stiffer and it felt much better on turn in and the general feel of the car, the front STi arb is slightly wider than the wagon arb and puts the droplinks at quite a angle under normal use unless you go for perrin front droplinks

I did the same as Granby and found the REAR STi bar hit the std plastic link bars on my 03 wagon.
The cheap whiteline thick wire links worked though.

At £120 delivered, you're well on the way to a whiteline adjustable rear bar. I'd save my money and go for one of those with some solid droplinks thrown in for good measure. Bob

Didn't realise it was you, sorry about the other night and i will try and go slower next time

Had the geo done by Zak at Mocom and the car felt 100% better after he did it, been to a few places before but Mocom was the best

Yeah i'd go for just the rear ARB first (STi or Whiteline or Perrin) and some droplinks, i've got the whiteline steel droplinks and find them fine
