Default Anti Roll Bar Diameter

Does anybody know the diameter of the front and rear anti-roll bars on a 2006 Hawkeye WRX?

I want to replace the standard bushes with polyurethane bushes to stop the flex that seems to ruin the handling somewhat, also if you have fitted polyurethane bushes did this have a noticeable effect on the handling?

I would ask the same question for my classic.... back bushes are shot and I need to put it through the MOT. Whilst I'd love to upgrade the arb and be done with it I'm buying some brakes off Kev atm so can't afford it!!

If you're around Swansea or Cardiff I could accurately measure them for you.

I have the Whiteline Catalogue in PDF if you want it. PM your private e-mail and I'll send it.

I'll take the car into work and measure them with the digital vernier, I might be interested though in you fitting some Prodrive lowering springs, anti-roll bar links and bushes for me if your interested? PM me if your interested

Rear ARB's and links are easy. Did mine on the drive, but left some flesh on the old ones!

Top job Rich , many thanks for your help today, I cannot wait until I get the steering geometry done so that I can take it for a proper test of the handling at legal road speeds of course.
