ohiotrojan Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 you long timers will say, "just search", but working with different parameters. Here is the deal, I have always liked the Cobb based on reviews, but as you know they don't sell mfr them anymore, but a couple of sites still have them. Secondly, like the Perrins, but they are out of rear end links, and don't really want to add new sways without ends. So question is: Do you take a chance on the Cobb's, knowing that they are not mfrd any longer, or take a chance on the Perrin's without upgrading end links. (i know there are other end links, but like to keep it in the family). Thanks guys, need to do something soon, so tired of the wallowing around corners in the 08 spec b.....

Guest adam07specB Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I have the Perrin front and rear with the end links, and love them... I would recommend getting them and just ordering the end links from someone else. I have been really happy with this set and the spec.B likes it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Fred Beans ... great prices and lots of stuff in stock can't verify if endlinks in stock I know they had them a few weeks ago when I ordered my sways.

m sprank Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I have the cobb bars with perrin end links. No problems with mismatching manufacturers. My only complaint is the cheap bushings that come with the cobb bars. Replaced them with whiteline bushings after 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator GT Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Yeah, I'd like to throw my hat in the ring of no front sway change for me. Just the front links.

markbrotens Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Perrin's Rear Sway Bar just dropped in price from $260 to $190. Plus they're having a 4th of July sale and if you use the coupon code you get an extra 14% off, bringing it down to $163. Just ordered mine today;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wangspeed Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 You don't need the end links unless you're significantly lowered. I dislike the design of most of the aftermarket ones anyways. Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EquinnoxX Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I don't know why but I never see people mention the Zero / Sports sway bars. I've been running a set on my car (w/ no endlinks) for about 2 years now and they're awesome. They seem to be relative in price to some of the other offerings and even come in a nifty green color! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3102/3142315136_c48b804b5c.jpg Anyway might as well check those out with the others. I guess the point here is you have a few options besides the ones you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markbrotens Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Just installed a perrin 25mm RSB and love it. I was going to do the front eventually, but with the change that this made, I don't know if I'll even need to! Excellent turn-in with a slight hint of very controllable oversteer.

Woodstock Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 +1 Perrin 25mm front, 22mm rear, and kartboy endlinks do you track? I have been thinking of getting 25mm front. How is the roughness when Daily driven? I have 22mm rear btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeAldea Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I want to do Sway Bars on my '05 GT Wagon. I would have liked to get the Cobb sway bars but with them being out of production I wonder how many sites actually still have the correct bars for an '05 Legacy GT in stock. Since Cobb never seemed to publish thickness data, just stiffness, it is hard to select from other manufacturers. I'm not sure what size I should be getting front & rear if I have to buy Cusco, Perrin, Whiteline, Zero, etc., instead of Cobb. My suspension is currently stock and sway bars are the only change I am contemplating since this is my daily driver and will not be seeing any trackdays or autocrosses. What would you do in my situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integroid Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Get the whitelines or any other sway bar that makes you feel all warm inside. I have never read a negative on any of the aftermarket LGT sway bars. I have the whitelines f&r on my wagon for the last 3+ years with Perrin end links and no problems at all. Had the same setup on my froestor and WRX with zero issues. Is one bar better than another for a daily driver, doubtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
