From what I've read on here,most people seem to rate the Powerflex ones as the best.I'm considering this option for my 01wrx together with a Whiteline 22mm rear anti roll bar

Good luck

Nick

I have these from Whiteline. I know they do a solid gold coloured link which looks nicer and the bushes look to be slightly better protected.....but I don't know if they are any better. I won't be breaking these in a hurry.



As mentioned the powerflex ones look nice.....I haven't yet persuaded anyone to crawl under the car to admire them so you take your choice I suppose!

I have the solid ones on my Forester S Turbo

The only issue I have is the squeek and groan like crazy. Whiteline are aware of the problem and have redesigned the ARB bushes.

I got them from power station. Very helpful bunch of guys. If you got to whitelines site http://www.whiteline.com.au/Default.asp click the link to swaybars and then click the link to the full broucher, the part you will need is on page 4 of 33, part number KLC26. I also believe jap innovations do them and also demon tweeks

Jason, you'll only need rears for your car. The 03's have metal front drop links as standard. Just fitted rears to my dads car yesterday. Got em form Demon Tweeks @ £40 delivered.
