Hey guys!

I have a bit of a problem concerning the lateral links on my MY03 STi.
Couple months ago I bought a set of Eibach sway bars together with new Kartboy Endlinks.
Upon installation, I notice that I couldn't the rear sway in a correct position due to wrong distance between the connections on the lateral links. If I centered the sway bar, my endlinks went like this: \ / or like this / \ => not good!
So I started researching and couln't find anything in particular After contacting Eibach, I learned that my lateral links appear to be those of a WRX
Like this:

What i should have had is this:


Now, wtf is going on here and how come I have the 'WRX' lateral links on my STi? Further, how and where can i find the original STi ones fitting the 03-04 model?
What i don't need is the 05 lateral links because they look like this:

These are much wider and won't fit without lots of adjustment...

Can anyone help me out?

Throw the pillow ball lateral links to the bin (or give them to me )

Eibach is probably talking BS. The lateral links you have seem to be pillow ball ones which is a Sti upgrade. Seeing that you also have Sti pink trailing arms, your car has been upgraded with those Sti parts (unless it is a RA-R which has them from factory).

Can't you fit the anti roll bar in a way that the drop links are almost vertical? You should be able to and I don't why you have to "centre" it.

Alternatively, you may have been sold an ARB for a wide-track Sti (post 2005) which explains why the drop links are sitting like this \ /
