99% sure they are the same. That's always been the weak spot of the XT; a lot more velocity but no improvements anywhere else, unless you count a pound or two per corner from the alloys.
But it should fit right? I traded in my car with an upgraded Cusco sway bar and have the rear stock bar in my closet. Wasn't going to throw it away and would like to put it to good use. And yes it's the sedan RSB.
it is 2" too short for proper fit on an 06 Forester
the rear sway bar (OEM 17.3mm) on the 2006 Forester is the same as 05...
and 04... and 03....
with this setup, the optimum swap is to the STi 20mm rear bar
we have a kit for that

I came across a set (front and rear) of STi sway bars. I know that swapping out just the rear inproves feel but what if I also installed an STi front sway bar? What would installing both a front and rear have on handling?
Yeah I measured mine and the front is 21mm. I have a 21mm Cusco set to the middle setting and Perrin mounts in the rear and it feels good. I just have to find some bolts for the Helix links and the rear setup will be complete.
Is the stock STi's front sway bar a 20mm? If so it's the same as the rear? Would'nt downgrading the front to a smaller sway increase overstear? Small in front, big in back?
