Will fit any Subaru, just need to modify it to sit around the intercooler (provided it got one), like if i wanted i could have cut the intercooler bit that stick up (WRX IC) and it would have fitted my BF...

This one just sit a little bit more flatter than the other ones..

I recently put a second hand front brace on my B4, notice a pretty big difference.

Might look into doing a rear one sometime but I do like my front. Has less of a twisting feel and doesn't lean as much around corners.

ive got a front and rear coming for the rs, so ill be able 2 tell how much better they are

Well worth it.

+1 Same here... Cusco adjustable strut brace on my beast

Plus after a little bit of driving around and a few fast corners you can tell a massive difference, if you have the money i would recommend getting a strut brace, and if it fails to live up to expectations (if you get a decent one it will) at least you have something that should look alright sitting in the engine bay

can also say they are great

Have a chat to mac at 41automotive. Would fully advise getting the bar+brake cylinder stopper too. BCS won't cost a hell of a lot more when bought as a package.

[Guest r0ksta]

a what what package?

would a wrx sti carbon fibre strut brace (GC8) fit my 97 RS?

[G-unit]

should do, i have sti braces on my rs

[Guest r0ksta]

how do you fit them? do I need anything other than just the brace itself?

[G-unit]

na just the brace

[Guest r0ksta]

Is it as easy as just unscrewing those 3 nuts on the top posts while the car is on a flat even surface, then just put the strut on top, bolt back on again? How tight should you go on the tension?

easy to unscrew eh, just take them all off, whack brace on and put bolts back on. Do them back up tight - who knows what tension, just so they wont come loose

[Guest r0ksta]

sounds simple enough, cheers
