So I was looking at the parts on www.japanparts.com (http://www.japanparts.com), section for the Subaru Legacy BE/BH chassis for Handling/Braking - Roll cage/Body Parts. Now what I want to know is if the parts that say they are for the BH5 Turbo, will they work, such as the lower arm bar by Cusco? It looks like the stuff for Gialla will work since it doesn't specify, but the Cusco parts are cheap. Anyone know for sure? Oh yeah this will be going on a 2001 Subaru Outback. Thanks.

front lower arm bars dont work on n/a cars because they interfer with the exhaust. the rear arm bar will work n/a or turbo. but have heard they dont fit right in USDM cars

the front H-brace for the 2.5rs may work on the BE/BH's (bolts up to the front control arm bushings and then to the rear control arm point on the unibody). Don't get the one for the WRX or turbo cars, they have a different subframe.

Honestly, I don't know if it makes any difference. I've tried the strut tower bars and have an H-brace on the car right now...other than getting the way of trying to access the underside of the engine/trans and acting somewhat as underside protection, I didn't notice any difference in how the car handled or rode...
