Default Looking for a genuine Subaru STI carbon front brace

I am looking to get hold of a genuine Subaru STI carbon front brace for a 2007 UK Hawkeye if anyone knows where you can get one.

Have searched & found several others like the Tein for the newage but not sure how good these are ?

Cheers Andy.

Andy, the Spec C type one I have is Titanium and although very nice required subtle bending of the Aircon pipe to attach. Of course the Spec C does not have this. New these are £100's but second hand just the one hundred for a mint one.





The best ones cost/quality by far are the Summit Racing bars which I have in the rear. Very light, strong and substantial.



Darren ABW is a supplier...





This is my rear bar...









Personally I would go for the Summit bar over the STi one, and at £130+Vat its not worth looking at anything else IMHO

Rear bar is pointless, look at the structure above it in the piccy..........

Its just extra weight.
