Should do. I have an 02+ WRX wagon one on my 98 GT wagon. Same pattern bolts & width.

looks good,how much of a difference did it make?
and another one,which seats did you fit in your car?

Firmed up the turn-in crispness. Back end wants to stay in line much more than before.

Seats are from 06 STI. Almost perfect fitment with 3 of 4 bolt holes matching up. Seat belt buckles are 99% compatible with 98 belts.

I don't have heated seat wiring. it's a GT, not an outback. :)

Huffer, did you have the car flat on the ground when you installed it?

Huffer

Yep. That's how you should install strutbars anyway. Flat level ground so there's even tension on the struts when you remove the nuts.
