How much you wanna spend? Cusco makes both for $160 or you can find something cheap on Ebay. 05's and up wont fit but anything for older imprezas will fit the front.

Any front strut tower bar for any 96-01 Impreza will fit. For the rear the only one I know of specifically for the legacy sedan is the one I have from Cusco.

You can find really cheap sway bars om ebay (the impreza ones) that fit. Or if you want something name brand trustes check White Line.

Is there much difference between a cheap ebay one, and a name brand one? It is basically just a bar that connects the two strut towers isn't it?

It has been debated wether a front bar does anything at all due to its proximity to the fire wall. So a cheap front bar is pretty much bling.

I believe you have to removed the back set of a sedan to fit that.

_n_______n_ are made for the sedan so they clear but they will also fit the waon
