I'm looking to improve the handling on my classic MY00 and was thinking of adding some strut braces.

I have just purchased a front top, do i need the front bottom and rear too? How much will i notice these?

I've had the car's 4 wheel alinement done, which made a big difference. However, still doesn't handle like my civic type r did. Any suggestions, or will the car never handle like a honda?

Thanks

l8,
You can get an impreza to handle great, but the shell is quite soft from the start (or maybe after 8-10 years of [ab]use)
As much shell stiffeners as you can fit (incl rollbar or cage if possible) and stiffer bushings. Coilovers, rollbars. Most of what you read about really!
But just one strut brace will probably go unnoticed
