first allocation 02 wrx sway bar size

finally bought a caliper so i could measure my stock sway bars. 25mm front/ 25mm rear!! i couldnt believe it! i hadnt done much reading on the differences in the first allocations, but this is a nice one to find.

 

wow, you sure? I thought the stockers were like 17mm? and even smaller for the RS?

 

I thought they were 17mm stcok??

Am I missing something here?

 

wipe the dirt and salt of that will take a few mm of the measurement.. ah haa

 

^^ yeah really, all of my sources say that the 02-03 WRX sedans had 20mm and 04+ sedans had 17mm, while all wagons 02+ had 17mm. 25 is crazy!

 

hmmm I should crawl under my sisters car and see if they are 20mm on her 02 WRX

 

25mm? I've never heard of that before -- I was always under the impression that '02 and some of the early '03s had a 20mm rsb. I guess I should get a caliper to measure my '02 sedan rsb, hehehe.

 

i checked again and got the same thing. hmm, i just bought this cheapo caliper from 7 corners, maybe the mark of where the reading is at is off a bit. i didnt think they would be that big, but i remembered russ saying that they were bigger, i just didnt remember how much bigger.

 

$20 says it's a bad caliper or user.

 

I have 22mm Perrins and they were definately larger than the stockers on MY02 WRX.

sway bars

Agreed,all 02's and early model 03' sedans were 20mm front/rear. 03 owners need to measure...could be 17.

 

$20 says its the latter. lol

good conversation though...break.
