ahh ****..nvm, i thought they were adjustable ones like on the Ksports. I haven't looked at mine for a long time. hmm.
what about making an another adapter place on the coilover bracket, cuz honestly if you got the right front sway bar links, all other products are gonna be the same spec.

The sway bar links I have now are the originals that came with the car, i'm thinking on just utilizing the Whiteline W23180 kit, cut them to fit, and bolt the originals back onto the Original Shocks for safe keeping
My other option right now (no money involved) is to try and use the "rear links" they seem to be about 1.5 inches shorter than the front, but I don't know if those will be enough.

that is actually a very very good idea! haha, i might have to keep that in mind too. I'm converting to the 3es front suspension using the thicker whiteline front sway bar. I might run into the same issue you do! cool thanks!!!

My Intention is since the spring rates are low on the rear, I would install the rear sway bar first and then later try the front, since the front Spring rates are already high 7kg/mm just been holding out for now.
I have the option to take a day off from work this week, so I might try the sway link swap (front to rear) then and see where that puts me.

I decided to sell the parts car since it's in too good of a condition to be parted out and trashed. I just spent the last two days fixing all the tiny issues it has and detailed it inside out. I even touched up all the tiny paint chips.
here are some pics of it. think i can get $2k out of it?

anyway, some real updates today.
after selling both sets of my 18" summer wheels, i finally found another deal for summer wheel combo.
just picked up a set of 06-07 Subaru STi BBS forged rims in gold colour with good tires. only bad thing about this setup is that it's crazy high offset! +53mm!! and the bore size is tiny! 56.1mm!!
well...i'll be running 25mm spacers on this setup and I'll have to get the spacer center hub rings to be machined so it can sit on the 60.1mm Lexus/Toyota center hub.
will upload pics tomorrow after I get the wheels washed and rebalanced and installed =]

got my sti wheels out today and gave them a good detail
oh man, even though they are probably the cheapest BBS rims available, I'm already very very impressed with the build quality. First of all, they are powder coated and the paint is very very strong. Second of all, the bolt holes are sleeved with some high quality steel sleeve inserts so the lug nuts are not pressing against the forged aluminum. The forged prints are super clean. They are light as **** and they look amazing!
I power washed them today and then claybarred all the brake dust off and then used some lacquer thinner to carefully remove all the extra glue left by wheel balance weights. they turned out to be super clean. costed me $1000 with decent condition falken summer tires
getting them balanced tomorrow and getting the spacer centre rings machined and i'll be good to go =]
