Default STI Sways + Springs +Trailing Links

Doing a bit of an interweb +forum search, couldn't find anything specific enough

Just wanted to know if anyone has had an experience or knows about the STI swaybars + springs + trailing links that you can buy from Subaru direct (Performance Parts catalogue)

Reason I ask is Dad is fixated on "Genuine Subaru" and he's gets a little pissed off when I mention "aftermarket" (wasn't a happy chappy when I decided to get the exhaust done....until he took the car for a spin ).

Thanks guys,

Shane.

the sti gear is good gear, its just the pricetag that's associated with it that is the problem.

If he's buying, by all means get the STi parts, but you pay a heavy price for the manufacturer labelling.

You'll pay a premium, but the gear fits perfectly and works as the factory intended.

Its not as 'aggressive' as aftermarket gear, but your old man will be a happy camper regardless.

i think the dollar to performance gain ratio would be so gay that you would be better off spending that money on a big foam hand to slap your dad.

Yeah that sounds good to me. The idea of factory fitted just gives peace of mind.
