Joe.
Without having done it myself, but having reasonable general engineering knowledge, the offset links (as in the KLC139 catalog picture) would be a good solution if you retain those bars. Remember the forces are taken through the centre lines of the ball sockets, it doesn't matter which way the studs point, it looks like the ball joints would be more vertical if installed like that. Just watch that it will affect the height of the end of the sway bar, so check for clearance at the top of the travel arc.
However, it does look like they may not be the correct bars for that model.
Also, being adjustable, make sure the car is sitting level with the weight on the wheels, and adjust the length of the links so that neither one is loaded, ie, no tension on the bar.

Just my 5 cents worth.

Cheers.

Thanks Guys,
Cinaber who sold the bar to me had the part numbers up on the original FS ad.
I did check them and they matched MY 05-07 STi for fitment.
I will investigate the Whiteline links some more.

Thanks Gav for your useful input....

Heya Joe

Just replied to your PM.

Part is correct to reassure you. Still have original pics and invoice when i had it fitted by stechnic

Definitely use the whiteline endlinks. Its what i had on previously and they fit no problem.
From memory, was about 120-130 for the endlinks.

Hope that helps

Ty's last soccer game was at 0900 so I had to give it a miss.
Will be in on the next cruise that happens.
Did Douglas make it this time?

Thanks Rexxar,
Yeah the bar I have installed is shorter by the looks of things.
Not to worry, KLC139 Spherical Links on order.

Cheers,

Joe.
