strut tower bars for bg/bk

[kanner95bk]

Okay everyone, who knows which impreza models' strut bars fit a bg/bk? Any input in regards to this topic are welcome. Thanks!

GC front, GD rear. You'll want a lower profile front bar, if it's too tall it won't clear.

I know for a fact that the 02-07 wrx rear strut bars fit a the 2nd gen wagons.(http://www.ebay.com/itm/230930011367?ss ... 1439.l2649 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/230930011367?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649))

A few members including myself have installed the bar from the link above. You can check it out in my build thread linked in my signature.


Also, I bought a front strut brace off another member here that fits(pictures in my thread as well) but im not sure exactly where it came from.

This. I have a GD/GG (02-07) wagon rear strut bar on my car. My friend, Rubie_25GT had a GC (95-01) strut bar on the front of his car.

I completely forgot about this thread. Upon searching I found it again, thanks for the replies!

So I bought the 02-07 rear bar from the link above, turns out the bar for the brace setup is about a quarter of an inch too short. I'm quite disappointed honestly :/

That sucks!
Did you try installing it assembled? I havent done one on mine yet, but some cars you have to put the strut plates on first, then bolt the bar in.
If its only off 1/4", just drill the strut bolt holes out 1 larger bit size, that might be the amount you need. Once the bolts are tightened down, they aren't going to move!

I had to do that on mine.

Mine didn't go on "perfect" out of the box. I had to take it apart like mentioned above too. Should fit on after that.

Hahaha you guys got lucky, I had to take a plasma torch to mine to make it fit!
