Which one the front or the back? I have this on the front. What is not fitting correctly? The back was a little more challenging, so I did not install it yet. I am going to get new rear tophats and struts when I put the rear bar on...

hopefully...

Hi, so I ordered the front strut tower bar from the link on the first page of this thread off ebay - the one for an impreza. Got the impression of impreza/wrx for front/rear after reading whole thread. The bar that arrived is aluminum and black, and low profile....but doesnt fit. Seems to be an inch or two too short.

 

What am I missing here? Any help would be appreciated.

Baddog,

I thought so too, but in this post:

the strut bars wont fit as the width of the wrx's are wider. you will need to look for gc impreza 95-01 struts bars both fronts and rears. get the low profile ones with just the bar going straight across as if you were to get one the angled ones meant for jdm turbo rs's you will have to turn the bar around so that the hood can close properly.

 

as for the tie bar. i got no clue and the car in that picture isnt a subaru( most common subarus 95 and up have thier exhaust on the drivers side and there is no rear diff on that car lol)

made me change my mind. I goofed.

Ok, I am glad that this information is correct and noted. I had to tilt the bar toward the firewall for the fronts strutbar, but it did work and it does seem sturdy. 94-01 Impreza front Strut Bar confirmed for 98 Legacy GT Sedan.

the mounting plates on both ends extend and will even come off...it'll hold up

 

the front struts are already so close to the firewall that the amount of stress that bar will take will never be enough to damage it or even put a questionable amount of stress on it

Waiting for my STi struts to come in.

So I ordered 95-01 Impreza Strut Up Bars for my 98 LGT. Why did this not fit correctly? I had to extended the base plates out a good inch on inch side. I don't think this will hold up.

Hi,

Wanted to see if you were able to confirm that this fits.

I found a good intake pipe deal on Ebay from OBX. Its just the piping for a CAI but is super cheap and has all necessary ports for our 94-98 Legacies (4 Total).
