front strut bar....and rear strut stuff

[GTDrifter]

my cousin might give me a front strut bar if it fits

he had it on his impreza so would it fit on my gt?

[chuckthefuk]

what kind of impreza?

what kind of legacy do you have.


If you have a 95-99 legacy and its a 95-01 impreza then yes it will fit.

No, the rear sway bar will hit the spare wheel well.

Yes, GC front strut tower bars will work.

For example:

That is a GC Impreza STi Carbon STB.

There are two styles for the strut brace. If you want bolt on and no modification you should use the flat style below.


Tall style - GReddy (tripple tube design) GC8 strut bar

Also just to add, at the moment only cusco makes the rear strut bar - brace.

02+ WRX rear strut bar will also fit but is not bolt on. You must modify the strut tower for the bar to fit. But as far as mounting points they should all line up.

There is also the Ebay strut bars(which I havent gotten yet, evil UPS) Ill get pics on them when I get them.

[chipLRX-SLI]

what about the gc rear bars do they fit as well . lower h brace would that fit ?

[AussieDan]

The rear strut towers are the same as the 02+ WRX, you can use that bar. A GC8 rear bar won't work.

Also what will work on my BG?

[chuckthefuk]

*any* gc8 impreza front sturt bar will fit.

BD front end = BG/BK front end. there the same.

The sway bars are different. You need legacy specific sways, unless you want to cut out your spare tire well.

BD = BD/BG (the rear end is a bit different between the BD and BG/BK)

[J.McDonald Knives]

I'll be removing the spare tire well anyways since I'm going with a full size spare. I just need to know what parts will fit my BG as far as sways and strut bars on both front and rear.

pick the size you want ..

Dont get that, the bonnet wont close unless you put spacers on them.


I am using the GC8 CF front strut bar, So confirmed. It will work

Huffer is using bugeye [02-04 impreza] rear strut bars, so that is confirmed to work.

I don't think so.. the rear strut bar has to be modified.. or should I say the strut tower has to be modified.. its not bolt on..

**Edit** Forgot he had a sedan. OOps.

The REAR brace from the 02+ WRX wagon works perfectly fine in a BG/BK wagon.

The SEDAN is another kettle of fish and does require the strut tower to be cut to allow for enough clearance if the brace is not BD specific.

However, this thread refers to FRONT STRUT braces, not rears. :lol:

[chipLRX-SLI]

i know that this isnt a rear strut bar disscussion but what about a wrx sedan rear brace in a bk?

i got a rear strut tower bar from a 02+ sedan . they will fit into a bk . the only issue is if you want the plastic covers over the strut tower you have to hack them up .

[GTDrifter]

see....i made it so that it could be any strut bar lol

[Grafton]

i know this will "fit" but would it have any issues with the big air chamber on my I.M. ?

[GTDrifter]
