Well I got the leg up and running finally and was just driving it around like I would normally. So here's about where it went wrong.

I picked up a sti crossmember for my swap and dided to use the legacy sway bar cause it was thicker then the wrx one i got. So I was driving at the parking lot at school and had to make a left hander at the end of the row's of cars, wanted to see how well she handled cause I forgot the feeling. Went into the corner at about 25-30, heard the tires squeal a little and when i got to the 90 degree mount I heard a pop then felt something hit the floor. Figured it rock or something flying up. Plus I wanted to check it out away from the scene I may or may not have caused.

Well I went to a party that night and then had to go somewhere this morning so I finally looked at what happened.

I snapped my gO Da swap bar in half...well not in half, but on the left side off the end link about 7 inches in. So i've got this chunk of sway bar running on the road a bit while driving and turning doesn't go unnoticed. So I'm getting my wrx one shipped to me at school so that I can get her back to good...but never figured I'd ever snap a sway bar...just interesting.

but it will make a nice mantal piece in my room lol

I had a rear bushing go and did a 360 entering a very sharp turn at 45 miles an hour...no damage at all the the car, it was a perfect 360.
