Which one....the lower cusco bar, or the strut tower bars?

The strut tower bars, yes.

The lower cusco bar....no.

I heard you can put on an impreza header and some custom exhaust work, then the brace will fit.
I was going to make a 6 point brace to fit my car this summer but was foiled by having to redo the motor.

well that sucks... i was all set to buy one and everything, just didn't make the bid... oh well, they're not going anywhere... i guess this just gives me yet another reason to do a turbo leg swap of some sort.
