Yes they do, just make sure to get the Spherical Sway bar links too.

Yep, the 05+ STi arms dont use C-links. Spherical links are better too. Absolutely no give in the bearing compared to poly bushes.

I don't see why you would need to. Whiteline may list a different part number for the sway bar between the two models, but as long as the spherical link bolts into the swaybar, you should be good to go.

swaybar stays the same, you just need different end link types.

i'd recommend the sti multi-link endlinks (top of the below picture)

so i got the STi pink lateral arms on - feels pretty good so far.

I only got one of em on each side - the bolt next to the driveshafts is way too tight - broke my farrkn tools.

gotta get a shop to do it.

btw the links match up perfectly with my existing swaybar.
