using 04 sti lateral links with 02 wrx stock sway bar, end links

Serkan · 05-06-2009, 05:28 PM

My lateral links on my 02 wrx was bent and i bought 04 sti lateral links from a member.

Is it possible to use my stock sway bar and "C" type endlinls on the rear lats ?

It looks like the endlink will align with the 04 rear lat, but it doesn't have 2 side supports like 02 wrx ones. Would it be ok to bolt it that way ?

I think the 2 sided supports on the wrx links has more to do with how thin the metal is. If you look at the sti ones the the support is substantially thicker than the wrx ones. I'm currently running 05+ aluminum sti links on my wrx rotated so the supports point down with a 25mm sway designed for the stock lat links and kartboy endlinks and everything fit together and seems to work fine. The only issue was on the drivers side the bar and the support were lined up right on top of each other so we were forced to put the endlink inside/inside or outside/outside I forget which.... I can snap some photos if you want.
