I've got a MY05 WRX PPP with prodrive springs - anypoint on fitting front and rear strut braces ? What benefit might I see or not worth it ?

Many Thanks in advance

Sorry, can't really comment on the strut braces other than to say I don't notice a whole lot of flex with the standard car anyway.

But can I be cheeky and ask what difference the springs made?

The reason is I have the same model incl PPP and on some surfaces (motorways and autobahns especially) it starts hopping along like a kangaroo at times. Have been considering the springs if this might make a difference.

Thanks

Can't say I noticed it hopping before tbh but the combination of the springs and four wheel alignment made a huge difference to the handling of the car, feels much tauter overall, hard cornering is hugely improved and the ride whilst a bit firmer perhaps certainly isn't crashy or tiring.

plus the WRX sit's very high on the standard springs and cosmetically it makes all the difference especially with 18" wheels on..

the strut bars are a funny thing, you may not notice anything immediately in terms of handling improvement (although the front will feel a little tighter) but the difference is when you take them back off again....THEN you notice just how wallowey the standard car is......

worthwhile IMO i have both.
