Hopefully I'm not completely hijacking this thread, but I have aftermarket front and rear sways, that are, well...pretty bloody big. The car has enjoyed rocking back and forth on two wheels if the ground gets a bit uneven! Anyway, before I came over I got new sway links, full alloy jobs whatever with decent bushes as the old ones were stuffed, but I don't know whether to get them installed by a Subaru dealer or by a tuner/workshop. I didn't bring over my tools yet otherwise I'd attempt it myself. Any ideas who would be better?

I'd say Subaru will rape your wallet for installing anything.

Find a decent workshop to install them if you can't wait.

From what I read wheels world for north of river and wilkinsons for south of river.

Its really really easy. Did it solo, with a 14mm,12mm,17mm and a shifter. Changed the old swaybar out and links, and replaced with new alloy links and a 22mm adjustable rear sway bar. All of about an hour.

Only tip id say is if you are replacing the links, get the old one off with the links still attached, and mimic the building of the new bar on the floor, and install it as a whole piece. Worked for me heh

Put a 22mm front and 24mm reasr in today, so much improvement, no where near as much understeer as before and the car sits far flatter around corners, money well spent!

Yeah agreed, the rear sort of sits down around corners and doesnt let the front dictate which curb it wants to plow into.
