Default Unknown Whiteline Rear Sway Bar

Hi all,

I have acquired a whiteline sway bar with no identification sticker. I have measured it and compared it to whiteline catalogue (visual comparison) and have determined it is most likely from an 03-08 forester SG, part# BSR35XZ.

However, I received it with bushings which suggest it was used on a GD WRX or STI. This is interesting as the forester BSR35XZ comes with additional mounting kit part# KBR16 which is absent.

Furthermore, the geometry of this bar doesn't match the geometry of known WRX or STI sway bars. The WRX bar has one lever arm straight, and the other with a "downward V" shape. I initially thought it was a BSR36Z, however, found it indeed has the downward V shape on one side. The exhaust clearance position and height is similar to known WRX bars.

List of features of the bar:
- 22mm Diameter, 3 point adjustable.
- 1125mm from "bolt flanges" (outside to outside)
- 970mm bushing to bushing (inside to inside)
- 5kg mass (including bushings)

If anyone has the BSR35XZ whiteline bar, let me know if this is what it looks like. A couple measurements to confirm would be super appreciated!

P.S. It will be for sale once I know exactly what it is.
