Question STRUT BRACES

I've just been on the subaru website and looked at the price of their front and rear strut brace (The ones with pink on them - STI ??) but they wan't £275 for the front and £200 for the rear??!!?? This seems a bit steep to me...
So I'm just wondering if anybody knows where I can get them cheaper etc. or is this what they cost??

Also, to people who have them fitted, can you tell the difference in handling?? & how do you get to fixings for the rear brace to be fitted, just had a look and I can't see where it would go?

Please help...

Thanks Neil, i've seen them on there but because of the big difference in price I didn't think the quality would be that good?? Unless someone has one??

Jon,

It depends which one your looking for, i think there is 2, the aluminium one and the carbon one (and im assuming that you were looking on ebay.co.uk as apposed to .com) most of the ones on ebay are actually the subaru ones (people get them cheap from japan and sell them on), and its my understanding that they are genuine parts. I guess if in doubt, just ask the seller the question.

Cheers,
Neil.

P.S. also the big difference in price is largely sue to IM getting away with charging whatever they like becuase they know people will pay!
