Got a 97 Impreza OBS bar from Makoto Auto Trends on Ebay for $50. Looks much better than the incorrect Cusco one I returned to Cobb that cost closer to $200. Had to cut notches from the sides of the mountings to clear the stud that holds the rear speaker mounts, but otherwise fit fine. Don't notice any difference in cornering as of yet (also have new tires - you may have read my venting about Duchess' Halloween adventure), but there's a big difference in creak reduction and a welcome general stiff feeling from the back. Over some rough uneven roads it no longer feels like the whole back of the car is twisting back and forth. Not sure it would make a difference on younger cars, but highly recommended for older ones, like mine (230K mi.)

I finally found someone who`s actually ordered/received and installed a rear strut bar on a wagon!!! What year is yours? What`s the part number and website I can contact for one? Please email me at subiedo@comcast.net with the info if you would.....thanks, Rod

subie_do: Did you ever ask? Ive been running an oval Cusco bar intended specifically for our cars for probably 1.5 years.

Plus Im about 3000 miles closer
