Looking for an 08+ stock WRX 16mm rear sway bar to put on my FR-S. It is only 2mm larger than my stock rear bar and is just the right size how I am setting my car up.

If any Subie guys have one, let me know, also posted on NASIOC to see if I can find anyone over there.

Out of curiosity why are you trying to find a stiffer rear bar? I thought most of the FRS guys were running stiffer front bars? Have you talked to Strano about the setup on his FRS? I know he's only one man but he's pretty darn good at car setup and I would suspect he's "close" on the setup all these cars will eventually be running.

Here is Andrew Pallota's STX build. He won Spring Nats this year in his FRS.

Also Eric Simmons' build is no slouch.

Yep I have the Strano bar on the front of my car. Removed the oversteer, which is good, but has created quite a bit of understeer. I wanted to see if I could find cheap way to test out trying to dial some of that back out with a slightly stiffer rear bar. I have talked to Sam personally at an event and gotten some good tips. Am I overdriving the car? Possibly, want to try to play with it a bit and see if it is me or something mechanical since I am on otherwise stock suspension.

Cheapest way would be to sweet talk myself, Caitlin, Larry, Mike M, Andy, etc. into riding with you at an auto-x. You gotta go to school son!

Have you tried tweaking tire pressures?

Tire pressure has been the current battle. Evo School is on the list for next year
