the links came second hand WITH the ali control arms compliments JWS for the sum of $400.
Have you called Regents or JWS and asked for a price? Alternately call Sam at City Subaru's spare parts on (08) 9416 0888.

Sadly Sam no longer works at Subaru, hasn't for some time.
There's only a handfull of Subaru parts guys that.......
A) know what they're doing.
B) Can be arsed looking for obscure parts for a vehicle other than an Aussie one.

You need to find one that fits both criteria, Either of the 2 Johns at Regents will if you ask them nicely.

Yep the Johns at Regents is the place to go.
They don't mind pulling out the big fat book full of explosion diagrams to find you that tiny little part.

Unlike Subaru techs who will automatically ask you in a dumb voice: "Do you have a VIN number?"

Big Thumbs up for John at Regents as well.

Blommer, not sure about what else you need. The pic looks the same as the alloy arms I bolted to my V5 WRX with Whiteline Links and an Anti Lift Kit.

finally got the alloy arms up onto the GC8..

Part number is #20420FA020

Those with alloy control arms and lacking of these rose-jointed swaybar links might wanna take this down.

Couple of pics of the installed arms with the links..

notice that these links are for GC8 STi 94-00 and are slightly longer in length bout few cms than the ones found on GDBs and fozzies.
