Hi I’m after front and rear strut braces for my STI hatch, anyone know where to go for them? See some on EBay not entirely convinced by them though.

I got an eBay one and I had to bend it in a vice to get it to fit. It was fouling the scuttle (or whatever it's called where the wipers etc sit behind the i/c).
I've had cheap ones off eBay on other Subarus that were fine but the hatch wasn't so lucky. £50 odd with adonised blue ends it was.
Also the rear ones require a bit of carpet trimming and you'll lose your boot liner (if it's the solid one like mine). I opted out for that reason as I use my boot liner.
it would seem proper ones are best , but expensive.

I have a genuine Subaru item from the 20th Anniversary edition. Link below. Pricey mind.
