Webb's Extreme rear swaybar legal in STX?
Trying to determine if Webb's extreme rear swaybar is legal in STX. I'm not very savy when it comes to suspension terminology. The bar, endlinks, bearing bushings and droplinks are all metal. I know that the suspension bushings can be any material except metal. Does that make the Webb bar illegal? I have the question in to Randy but thought I'd check with the fine folks on here. I have an appointment with Webb in a couple of weeks to do a rear swaybar, camber plates, control arms and alignment.
On another note, I got Maggie out on course for the first time yesterday and boy am I gonna have some fun this season! It was definitely a much different drive from my SM WRX. I was giggling every time I crossed the finish line. Took 3rd in STX out of 12 drivers and easily left a second or more out there. It should be a very enjoyable and competitive season. Oh and I was digging the street tire class - took about 5 minutes to prep the car.

I should add that people have been putting very simlar bars on the front of STOCK class cars for years.
