RS Legacy Strut Brace

[Guest r0ksta]

ANy advice? Yay or nay? better or worse? brand vs trade me deal?

[dubbedup]

yes front and back will make a big difference on your wagon, better due to less chasis flex, and brand will probly be higher quality.

[Guest r0ksta]

[dubbedup]

yah for any car. yours is a wagon right? if so a rear strut brace will improve handling immensly (sp)

[Guest boostcut]

rsb is a sedan. gtb is a wagon.

[Guest loren]

[Guest]

How about a front brace for a sedan GT? Much diffrence??

Can anyone recommend a brand and where to buy??

[Guest r0ksta]

If I get a front strut brace and a bigger rear sway bar fitted will it need wheel alignment again??

[Guest loren]

not at the rear.

only at the front if you do something weird... and even then probably not.

This is exactly what I have.....

Very happy with it. Pretty sure it is for a BG/BD but they all fit....

Easy as, provided nothing gets in your way.. you just undo a few nuts, place it on, do them back up and hey presto you have installed a strut brace

[Guest]

I personally dont think you will notice a difference unless you drive the car hard ;D

make sure the wheels are on the ground when you undo those nuts

I got a Cusco one on my RSB and i noticed an immediate difference.

Well worth it.

[G-unit]

2 of my cars came with them, they handled well, but i have never put 1 on so cant say how much better it was, wouldnt mind 1 tho

Yay.

And f*n easy to fit. I have one of those in my GTB.

[Jimbob]

so a gf/gc8 front brace fits bd/bg legacies?

[GT_Head]

The bolt pattern is the same at the top of the strut tower but on the bg's there is that bracket on the front of the drivers side tower that gets in the way of some strut braces. The STI ones are fine though..
