Richcass87 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I have a 97 Subaru Legacy outback 2.5 liter. I was wondering if anyone knows of any companies that sell any aftermarket rear sway bars that will tighten up the rump roast end a little bit around turns. I have had some people post different links to rallitek and whiteline but I just emailed them both yesterday and neither of them make a rear sway bar for the back only the front tower which I'm not really needing to keep the hatch from wanting to roll as much. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt167 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Slight mod and you can use the bar for an Impreza/ WRX and that opens up a lot of options. I don't think anyone currently makes anything for the 1990-1999 Legacy chassis. 2000+ is different in the rear, I'm not sure if it will work on the older car but I'd guess not without mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureSubaru Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 If I recall, the Foresters had a heavier/stiffer swaybar than the Imprezas. If the width is the same it should give more stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Use one from an Impreza. There's a brace on the spare tire well that you just have to hammer/cut a section out of and the Impreza bar will fit. If you upgrade the rear bar, be sure to upgrade the shrimpy mount brackets as well. They bend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocei77 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 The only issue you'll have is just doing the rear. The OB has an 18mm in rear and IIRC a 20mm in the front. If you do go to just a 19, you'll still have slight understeer, flatter cornering and basic controllability. A 20 rear will have neutral handling and can go into oversteer w/o warning. Be prepared. Larger will be instant oversteer. If you can handle it fine, if not, don't. O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) these may be the parts you need - adjustable and 'fixed' ; http://boxer4racing.3dcartstores.com/Sway-Bars-End-Links_c_166.html oops - maybe only BSR19XXZ still available ?
