Front strut bar Cusco or FHI?

[ScaryFatKidGT]

So I just ordered the super cheap Cusco sedan rear bar from Rallysport direct but before I put it on I want a front bar also but do I get a matching Cusco one or spend a little more to get the STi FHI carbon fiber one. I would like them to match but the STi one says STi and its carbon fiber witch is light and baller/sexy so idk...plus nobody will see the rear one to know if it matches the front.

Seriously? If you want to spend that kind of money I'll put an STi logo on my ebay one and send it to you.

The front one isn't going to do much because the firewall is so close to the strut towers already.

lol? It wouldn't be weird to run a back without a front?
I found one for $160 shipped on ebay...

[Huffer]

it's only weird if you're talking about swaybars, or wheels.

I run a back brace only, it does nothing but get in the way of moving things. These kind of braces are bling for the most part...

Me lovey Cusco like fatty kittie loves cakey.

[ScaryFatKidGT]

what other braces are there for are cars that will actually do something?

Would either of these fit a BD? I heard these braces only fit turbo/JDM models.

Seriously? If you want to spend that kind of money I'll put an STi logo on my ebay one and send it to you.And its not so much the STi sticker as it is the carbon fiber and titanium :)

The front one might actually do something. The firewall isn't going to provide much stability to the strut towers because the firewall is thin and not directly inline with the strut towers.

The rear one would be worthless IMO since there is a big tubular crossmember right over the strut towers. Maybe worthwhile on a wagon, but probably not on the sedan

Don't worry about front tower braces for subarus, they are not all they are cracked up to be.

Just grab a nice pink ebay one.. it will pretty much be the same. Get a sticker if your really feeling like matching.
