Nice pics!
did you pass the evo?
nope : (
Very nice! How do you like the sways? Big difference?
'11 SWP WRX: Cobb front/rear shifter bushings, Whiteline rear diff front bushings, Nameless axleback
It's almost a night and day difference with the Whiteline sway bars. I put the front and rear at the stiffest setting as well.
Awesome! That's next on my list!

Awesome thread Gabe! Need to get a ride in your car with the sways. This is Frank btw.
I always wonder, the car is naturally understeer which is no good right? so if upgrading the sway, don't you want to have a bigger rear bar than the front to induce more overstreering to counter that to have more control during a corner if you're starting to slide?
Understeer is not so good, which is why I upgraded the sways. With the 24 mm sway installed on the hardest hole and the rear sway bar installed on the hardest hole, I've found that the car turns in very neutral. I also found the car to oversteer a little bit around the track. Which was pretty fun.
I don't think the comfort level has changed honestly. it feels more or less the same with a tad bit more NVH.
Here's a vid from my track day yesterday at Thunderhill Raceway in Willows, CA. Best lap of the day was a 2:17. For comparison, a buddy in his GC coupe (STi drivetrain, stage 2, tune, coilovers, Toyo RA1 tires) had a fast lap of 2:09.
