Default installed Cobb sway bar and rear strut tower bar today

What a difference. I love suspension stuff, and sway bars make the best change on a car (bang for the buck). I always have said "if I ever do it over again, sway bars will be the first modification." The rear strut tower bar is a Cusco one.
Anyway, I didnt do the front sway bar yet cause I am going to wait till I can get access to a lift...I just didnt want to tackle it in the driveway.

here are some pics, not that you guys dont know what sways look like....

I <3 my Cusco RSB. My biggest complaint about the WRX was the body roll, and the bar all but eliminated it.

Not at all. I did the bar and endlinks in like an hour. It was only 8 bolts for both (6 if your doing just the bar). Really straightforward install.

this was a piece of cake. took me about an hour just to do the rear sway and rear strut tower bar. There was one bolt on the sway bar that was a bitch but thats it.
Well worth the effort.
