Does Sway Bar affect ride height??
I have an 05 STi with pinks and a Cobb rear sway bar. I recently noticed that the right wheel is 1/8 of an inch further from the fender then the left wheel.
I took it into the dealer who said that since I have a swaybar that I just nullified my warranty for my entire suspension. But they added that an 1/8 inch is within Subaru factory standards.
This True about the 1/8 in.? Could the rear sway bar or a shoddy spring install be the culprit? The dealer installed the pinks.
Is there anything I can check in terms of the install?

springs take a bit of time to settle down. I wouldn't worry much about the 1/8'', give it another week or two and see if it settles on the other sides of the car.
as for swaybars, no they dont affect ride height at all.

No a sway bar will not affect ride height at all. You're lucky suspension problems aren't too common. I bet if you painted your pinks and swaybar black they'd never notice.
