Default GC8 sway bars - does WRX use same as STI?

As per the title, does the WRX use the same sway bar size/fitment as the STI?

Im fitting STI alloy front control arms to my WRX, will my Whiteline sway bar and Whiteline links fit onto the STI alloy control arms? Or will there be problems.

Cheers,
Matt.

Switched to this type of end link when I fitted alloy wishbones, also using white line anti roll bar

Oh right, looks straight forward, something that any suspension shop should have, yeah?

Yip AND I know a few have done it here (along with myself) but a simple mod on the rear alloy wishbone mounting will also give you more castor 👍

Good links Matto, my Whitelines were giving me the shits coming loose all the time. They were junk when I removed them, Bram's links have held up well so far and handle track abuse.
