Ok so i have a RB rear sway bar and i broke it during the summer so i was looking online for a replacement, while on ebay i found a tanabe 20(.78 in) mm rear sway bar but it said it was for the evo 8 from 2003 to 2006 in the item details but its listed for the rx8. If the evo rear sway bars can be used on the rx8 then couldnt i just by one of the evo bars that are 27(1.06in) mm

 

 

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that an Evo sway bar will NOT fit an RX-8.

for the evo 8

now if you google img the tanabe sway bar for the 8 it looks the same dont know for sure but maybe ill call someplace that sells both a get a measurement.

 

The picture for the Evo 8 and the RX8 sway bar is the same, but that is just a stock photo. You need the sway bar that is for a RX8

 

I was actually thinking about getting a subaru hood for my 8.... love that scoop.... it should fit just fine right?

 

Basically, they made a sway bar, took a picture, and said this will be our picture for sway bars. Then they sell sway bars that are all different lengths, thicknesses and use the same picture for all of them. This way you can look at the picture and know it's a sway bar but a lot of people couldn't tell what application anyway. It saves them 2 minutes when making the ebay listing. And 2 minutes times 2 billion ebay listings is 4 billion minutes!

In general, even an ebay store should be able to properly send you an Rx8 sway bar when you buy an Rx8 sway bay regardless of the picture. But, if they are just tagging a sway bar with a bunch of car names, then I'd be careful. The bars are not cross compatible. Maybe they ask in the write out section what car you want a bar for. If the deal isn't awesome, I'd just get it from a vendor who clearly sells the correct bar.

Edit: The listing for the item is p/n TSB097R and the sales info which is basically a flier is for TSB072R. I would assume the seller with the basically excellent rating is just using the same flier pic for everything. They list a phone number - call them. For $9 more, the other vendor has the right part number in the flier.
