Rear Strut Brace - Wagon into Sedan

[nt_a_foz]

Hey Guys

One of hte boys just got a v2 wrx wagon to strip for parts and im planning on nabbing hte rear strut brace and hte front 4 point cusco k brace for the r.

Are teh rear strut braces compatible between wagons and sedans does anyone know for SURE.??

i got mine from a guy that had it on a sedan.. fits dandy as in my wagon eh..

They run on the same chassis so as far i understand they are identical.. as is the e underbody brace.. Mine came off a type R and fits directly onto my wagon.

Only thing with yours to be careful of is the V2 -> V4 changes if any - cant comment on that sorry

I thought thatd be the case.

Id assume if suspension from 1-6 fits then this will

The chassis is the same from start to then so should be sweet.

Knew the k brace will fit but cheers..

Least can test fit before buy/steal so thats alright

you should love the feel those parts give - made LOADs of diff in mine, certainly the K brace gives a big change in turn in

I cant remember whats onit but i think we dismantling this weekend and will post up parts on CS.

[driftrex]

hey nt_a_foz im thinking about doing these but wasn't to sure if it would make much of a noticeable difference on the type r with it already being so stiff with the seam welded chassis. Could you post up your opinion once you've taken it for a drive through the windy's would much appreciate it. Cheers

You can feel the difference in an r putting a rear brace on.

But i don't think it made the car any faster thru the corners

IMO better things to do first

More out of interest than anything what other things in your opinion would be worth while oding?

ARB / swaybars will do more than any strut brace will ever do. Front and rear both will make you faster.

Bet bang for buck.

Better pads / fluid

I like the brake brace - its worth it i reckon for its feel alone.

Camber adjustment front / rear

has he got a cheap front brace he wants to get rid of?

Swaybars might be the next hting i need to look into.

Getting some pads before the next track day.

And camber adjustment via adjustables so thats fine.

Cheers for that Qwerty handy info

put a front brace and a rear brace on, about a month apart and huge difference, the rear more so than the front, feels very flat thru the corners. sway bars are on the list..........

no but they help to reduce the body flexing which is obviously going to help round corners at speed, i think thats what hes getting at. strut braces are good at doing what they are designed to do, swaybars do a totally different job.

yep that's what i meant, i was just trying to think of away to describe it.....
