Does anybody know if a impreza 2015 strut brace will fit an 08 sti hatchback?

Thanks

In theory maybe.

The pickup points for the bar are located differently and higher on the strut turret mounting ring so may sit higher behind the intercooler so that it will fit the Levorg as well.

MY08-14 20th anniversary colour (I believe). Tucks down behind the intercooler.


Standard STi red version



MY15> WRX STI


When fitted on the turbo'd version of the Levorg

For what it's worth, I question the need for a front strut brace. A well respected rally car builder I told me many years ago that they gave marginal improvement as the struts were so close to the front bulkhead that did much the same job.
The rear is a different matter, especially on a 5 door.

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it, especially the jointed STI versions.
Some of the STI upgrades that on first look you'd not think would make any difference but once fitted work really well especially when done as a complete package.
