Default Wagon rear strut brace?

Looking to fit a rear strut brace to my MY99 Wagon.

Does anyone have one fitted that allows you to still use the load cover?

Cheers

lol, mailed him earlier today

ARB will make more difference...not much milage in changing the rad either...I only changed mine 'cos the one I brought had slim line fans and was super cheap...no advantages over OE though

I have a whiteline item in my newage wagon, it has quick release locks for easy removal.
Bought it 3years ago so unable to put up any links.

Unless you're gonna fit a proper 40mm bar I wouldn't bother tbh

Much better to do the ARB first as Ian suggested

On my prefacelift wagon we have two rear load cover mounting holes so you can retain partial coverage Mine came with a mock shelf to fill the void with speakers mounted, look pretty tidy

I have a 99 wagon and fit a cheap ebay job under the cover no probs. It was like this one...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUBARU-IMPREZA...item35aca3172b

It stretched a bit to go over it , but no biggie. Will warn you this, You wont notice it doing jack. It is also very annoying if you have to use your ample rear space. I have had fish tanks,bikes furniture in the back. Each time it's an **** ache getting it off, with missus looking over shoulder giving me the "you ****" look. Up to you matey, they look bad *** if its all stripped out, which mine is now.

Don't think I'll bother with a strut brace yet then.

Bugger wish I hadn't told Trails about the ARB

These are the quick release bolts on their own, very handy for a wagon user.
