Just thinking of it now dude "Megabeast" has one, but he hasn't been on here in ages. He had to cut like I told you. Snip snip...

Not worth it in my opinion. There's already so much steel back there around the struts and connecting the sides of the car.

A better investment in chassis rigidity would be a rear frame underbrace.

Yes, a GD sedan bar will fit.

You can see the slight sheetmetal mod required in the last 2 pics. I cut the front edge of the holes at the top and bottom and folded them inwards to make enough room for the brackets to go through.

I ordered a impreza rear strut bar today.
