Strut Braces

Do these make any noticeable difference for road use?

I have one fitted to the front, and i noticed a massive improvement in the holding of the road going around corners, im currently looking for a rear one too.

It's not difficult, just time-consuming because you'll need to whip out the rear seat

i fitted a front strut brace to my 55 WRX. didn't really notice much difference with standard suspension - i guess i will with coilovers and eveything will be nice and stiff.

fitting the rear brace is a pain, look for scratches and scrapped knuckles :/
