Subaru WRX sway bar question

Coworker has a newer WRX (2011), and he's looking to buy a rear sway for it. There's some AUS site that wants 125 bucks to ship a steel bar across the westward pond.

What do people with WRXs/STis like in their sway bars? Should get get a front instead?

He'll be running NOV DS next year.

There will be a difference in choice based up on a WRX and STi, being the LSD's in a STi allow it to handle a bigger, beefier bar. Most of the guys I know who put a rear bar on a WRX ended up moving back to a FSB mainly due to lifting a rear tire off the ground mid corner. For a novice on street tires, I'd suggest a 25mm Perrin or the like up front.

I had a 34mm custom FSB on my STi, but that was with 295 A6's all around. - AB

Will the FSB also hold up well on the track?

Sure, no problem. I know the STi stock end links could easily handle a bar that small. I think the '11+ WRX has the same front end links. - AB

Did I miss something? Are aftermarket bars allowed in DS? Won't different bars move it to street prepared or one of the prepared street tire classes?

Current rules are you can change EITHER the front or the rear bar in stock class.
