i noticed it straight away, but you wont notice it much with stock suspension/springs.

For 75 bucks, its worth a shot either way.

those bolts are there to hold the struts in place, not specifically for the strut tower brace

Cheers for the advise guys, i think i might grab it.
Ill be getting the WRX lowering kit from subaru so it will prolly be beneficial in the long run.

Thanks again.

i too noticed it straight away. mind you already had stiffer swaybars, firmer springs, koni's and solid links.

suspension on the wrx is definatly tricky... just like driving an AWD car is.

you want to have the rear stiffer overall than the front to help counteract the wrx's tendancy to understeer.

prolly hard to feel difference, but whiteline for $75. why not?
