Cobb doesn't make suspension parts anymore. I have a 27mm whiteline rear bar and the huge Strano 32mm front bar in my garage it you want them lol. Idk if there is a difference in wagon fitment and sedan.

Wagons require wagon-specific front sway bars, though with certain endlinks, you can use an older STi fitment front sway, but I wouldn't bother with that. The rear is the same.

I have the Whiteline 22mm two-way adjustable front which I believe is as thick as you can get with wagon fitment, but I could be wrong. I have a Cusco 3-way adjustable 22mm in the rear.

You are! :P:lol: There is actually a company making a 25mm adjustable solid bar for the wagon now! Probably wouldn't really need something that stiff for what he is looking for though.

Hotchkis or Whiteline are both good. Hotchkis are hollow, and Whiteline are solid if that matters to you.

Haha. Good to know. I agree it's probably overkill unless he goes for a crazy thick rear bar.

Bunch of Hotchkis options up to 25.4mm hollow front& Rear. Hollow is lighter for the same stiffness.

And they make great stuff. Check them out.

Thanks dean...

I have a 4 inch paint chip out of the roof... Which sucks lol. How the hell can I fix something like that? Maybe have the whole roof re done? Vinyl wrap it?

Any ideas?

GusGus91 2011-03-28 02:15 PM

That paint chip is from Vinyl wrap being taken off I believe. Wrapping the roof would be cheaper than getting it repainted I believe though.

Any ideas where I could be price wise, either paint or vinyl? Who does vinyl here?

GusGus91 2011-03-28 02:37 PM

Reid at Sierra Invisible Shield does great Vinyl work.
Cost, you would have to measure the roof and call and give him measurements and color you'd like.

As far as paint, you would need to go to a body shop for them to check it out.

SpenceTi 2011-03-28 05:04 PM

I would be down for a satin black roof if cost was way better than paint... Or atleast that until I can save up for paint lol

Could it be done by myself?

Damn this thread grew....


Austin's right - the paint chip is from vinyl being removed. As I explained, I had intended to wrap it with vinyl until I had the funds for a respray. My intentions were to get the rail delete set up and do the whole list of body mods at the same time. I was going to use 3M's Di Noc Carbon - it's a flat textured fake carbon that actually looks decent. Problem is it's twice the cost of standard colors. If you're thinking of tackling it yourself, the best pricing I've found for vinyl was a guy on Nasioc - search "3M carbon roof" and you'll probably find him. Just tell him what color, how much, and he'll get you what you need.
