Swaybars And Endlinks: Whats a good BK Setup?

[Zangado1]

So on a 95 BK what would be the best swaybar set up on the rear or the front. Im currently on KYB GR2's and Tein lowering springs with the 3/8 spacers. Im not an autocross or track driver,im just looking to enhance my handling and get the most out of my current set up. Endlinks have not been replaced or Poly Bushings,whats a good start? Thanks Guy's.........

I have front and rear sway bars from and Outback. You can get them cheap and they are a small up grade. As for endlinks I have Hardrace front endlinks and Noltec rear endlinks. You can get Hardrace stuff here:

Thanks for your reply,i dont see anything listed for a Legacy on those links? How about Whiteline stuff,they are too pricey it seems....

The 2nd gen Legacy is nearly 100% compatible with the GD Impreza stuff. The only exception is that 04+ rear endlinks are a different design. You want the "C" style endlinks for your Legacy.

BTW- That website has some good prices. I'm kinda considering those control arm bushings.

Thanks for clearing up the "endlink" option,now i know i need the "C" style for my BK. Since i have upgraded my suspension to GR2's and Tein H Techs im just trying to get the most out of my set up,so is it just as good to get some used swaybars off of a salvage car or go with some $200 + Whiteline bars with new Poly Bushings. Im kind of curious how much of a diffferance it will make buying new versus getting second hand and buying new bushings. Why spend all that paper if the second hand swaybars are just as good..

Well this is how I think of it. Just think that getting second hand stuff from another car will upgrade you to the best that other car can be, so up to like an LGT or Impreza RS (I don't think turbo sway bars work on our cars, in the front at least, gotta double check that).

Getting Whiteline stuff would be the upgrade for an LGT or RS. After market companies make the sway bars that are bigger than stock. Get what I'm saying? You just pay more for more thickness in sway bars, and some of them are adjustable.

Endlinks to me aren't as important. I'd say just go for one of the cheaper ones made of metal and have polyurethane bushings, unless the quality is questionable.

You can try to find used Whiteline, or other top brand, products. The price discount will make it look much more appealing and easy to buy!


On topic though, I have Whiteline swaybars and endlinks F+R. There is a huge difference in how the car handles and feels over the previous stock Legacy L stuff.

What year and model? Do they have poly bushings too Thanks.....

The hardrace front endlinks I posted on are my car. They bolt right on and made a nice difference. Car has more grip and steering response and change of direction were improved. Stiffer rear endlinks made the back of the car more grippy and tightened it up.

Nice upgrade for cheap... Which endlinks did you use on the rear? I know they are the "C" shape.....

[98legwag]

I have Noltec rear endlinks. They are discontinued as far as I can tell.
