DarkCloud23 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hey Everyone. Was wondering if anyone tried this or confirmed that this fits on our gen 6's. https://subimods.com/cusco-front-strut-tower-brace-type-os-2010-2015-legacy.html Anyway, I should be expecting my SSD Performance Strut Bar sometime later in the week. Ill post findings of my experience with the SSDPerf. bar. Cheers! BC Racing. Blox Racing. Whiteline. AVO Turbo. RalliTek. Gramlights Michelin. Optima. HKC-Speed. Nameless. AFE. K&N. WeatherTech.

I'm pretty sure Cusco Hasn't made a Front Tower Bar for our Series Yet.. I frequently check there web page.. Now on the other hand the BM Series Rear Strut Bar WILL FIT...

Great Mod for looks just do not expect any significant changes mainly because the 6Gen is considerably structurally stronger than prior Gens.

ammcinnis Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Great Mod for looks just do not expect any significant changes ... Yep. A strut tower brace (front or rear) for our Legacys falls into the category of "a solution in search of a problem." The benefits, if any, are almost entirely cosmetic.

rcoaster Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I would prefer a rear strut tower brace than a front one. I've heard arguments on how the engine firewall usually takes care of the structural reinforcement up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard arguments on how the engine firewall usually takes care of the structural reinforcement up front. Yep. And the load path in the Legacy rear is even more direct than in the front. Cross-strut lateral loads are not only carried by the roof and floor pan, as in the Outback, but also more directly by the substantial parcel shelf in the Legacy behind the rear seat backs.

Cross-strut lateral loads are not only carried by the roof and floor pan, as in the Outback, but also more directly by the substantial parcel shelf in the Legacy behind the rear seat backs. The rear suspension is not McPherson strut style like the front. The rear shock does not take any cornering loads, only vertical loading of the weight of the car. Cornering loads for the rears suspension are taken care of by the upper and lower control arms which are bolted to a subframe and independent of the shock/spring assembly. In the front the Legacy has McPherson strut suspension and the upper strut mount is essentially the upper control arm, so it takes cornering loads as well as loads from the weight of the car.

rcoaster Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I forgot about the rear parcel shelf. My prior two Subaru's were Outbacks, so that's where I heard the discussion about the rear strut tower braces more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
