Thanks Ben, this is a perfect use of those Subaru Bucks that have been burning a hole in my pocket.

How easy to fit ? I've got an Impreza Sti steering rack on now as well as whiteline front sway bar and Antilift, what sort of difference would I see with this ?
...you can tell I'm getting twitchy, need more mods :)

Not a problem at all, thank you.

Hopefully we can get 10 people on this and make the price really nice

Installation is pretty easy, a total of 6 bolts and two nuts.

Install two bolts at the centre, two at the sides and then put a lock tab over the outside bolts (held on by a nut and bolt at each side IIRC)


The front of the car is tightened up a bit, kind of like a strut tower brace.

I put one on my Forester a few months back and it made the car feel more connected (if that makes sense)

AFAIK there is not a rear subframe brace available from SOA at this time.

There is a SPT front strut tower brace and lower chassis brace that will be coming soon. I have seen the prototypes and they look nice


Edit:

Richard, thanks for the pic!

I guess you don't sell aftermarket stuff.

Thanks
