    It is slightly wider than the Legacy fsb so it was putting my end links at weird angles even with the spacers I had put it. It ended up wearing out the bushings in the end links so I figured why not change it out. The bolt on one end link was actually starting to pull through the bushing in the end link. I will post a picture when swapping the sway bars out.

    Did you try putting the endlinks on the INSIDE of the bar? I did that with my old 98 GT and it kept the endlinks within spec.

    Yeah that was tried. Either way the end links were getting flexed too much for my liking.
