2013 WRX Limited Eibach Sway Bars and Kartboy Endlinks Install (lots of pics)

[JellyBean]

I know an alignment will be necessary ... either before or after... any reason to get it before like you did?

Was that just to figure out how stiff/soft you wanted to make your sway bars to account for the fine tuning in the corners?

I am planning on doing this upgrade in the next couple of months.. I decided against getting a new set of rims and plasti-dipping the OEM ones... so I am going to spend some money on the eibach and KB endlinks...

I guess I was going to get the summer tires back on first... see how the car drove.. buy the setup install and then see how it drove...
then get an alignment to fix anything I felt was wrong?

Sorry I have been slammed with work and I apologize for the slow responses....
I did the alignment first based on Cobb's recommedation. Changing sway bars do not effect alignment

Do you have anything done to help the rear allignment or is it just stock set up (camber adjustment bolts)? If it's stock it's funny how different that can be car to car (since I believe they really can't do much adjustment to rear camber due to the rear suspension set up on the 3rd gen). I'm only at like .8 front camber (L & R), but was thinking about going to 1.5 as I've heard it corners a little nicer around that point.

Looks like you put a few hours into the set up, so I hope you enjoy!!!

No other changes to suspension - all stock. I'm not a suspension wizard so I used the KISS principal

Why didn't you get the alignment afterwards???

Adding sway bars does not effect alingment

Mikie, I could be wrong but sways and endlinks don't change the geometry so it doesn't really matter that he did it before, the alignment will stay remain the same.

OP: Did you need camber bolts to get -2 degrees in the front? Or do the bolts on 2013 wrx allow for more negative camber?

All stock except the endlinks and sway bars. I did not change ANY camber bolts

looking for this exact setup. I have the rear eibach bar currently . icannot find the front where did you get it ? same as the sti front ? also the endlinks worth the price ?

I got this all from RallySportDirect.com - Performance Car Parts Online and the stock endlinks are weak so yes its worth it to upgrade

JellyBean....
I'm getting ready to do this same installation on my '11. I'm curious why you used M12 washers instead of all 3/8 washers.

Size is only reason. I could have used 3/8 but if you look at pics the M12 are a tad smaller in diameter and as wide
