1max2nv Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I just got a 05 Legacy GT and I"m looking for a front strut tower brace. What are my options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hifiandmtb Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 This is my first time making this statement....ooohhh....it feels good.... Search, my friend. Please use the search option! There are strut braces on E-Bay for US$40 or JDM STi ones for quadruple that. Please search... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-2.5-GT Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 There is truth in search.... That being said, don't expect much out a strut bar for our cars. Its not going to make much of a difference other than the under hood bling factor, especially on an otherwise stock suspension set-up. IMO your money is better spent on a rear sway, which will actually do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I can honestly say I felt no difference when I put the STi one on, but I also have Cusco underbraces front and rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagcars26 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 The reason the strut bar doesnt make that big a difference on our cars is because the firewall is close to the top of the struts providing more support to the upper parts of the suspension then a strut bar ever will. Save your dough,get a rear sway. Rudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red beast Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 it makes a big difference in the feel of the steering wheel.
