Default Front and Rear Strut Brace - worth it?

Top mount front and rear strut braces, can get both for a reasonable cost £100.

Do they make that much difference?

The car has prodrive springs on standard shocks and is a 2005 wrx

if you do a lot of trackdays then its probably worth it otherwise it is just something to look nice as you will get no benefit on a road car

Yes as part of a greater chassis strategy, but not at that money. If you can get both new for £100 they are just tarts parts

Proper braces such as Summit Racing ones start at c.£150 ea.

They just add up to the fuller picture.

I'd put the £100 towards a 24mm anti roll bar and solid droplinks. They will transform the car. Reckon on £275 fitted.
