Firstly, its my understanding that a strut brace is sorta a last component for a suspension system. It probaly will not make that significant a difference on a stock suspension setup, but I don
't really know the handling characteristics of you GT. Secondly, newer Impreza WRX braces will not fit as they have a different bolt pattern. Correct me if I'm wrong but older strut braces intended for 2.5 RSs will work. Cusco makes high quality ones that cost around $150-160 new. You could prob. buy a used one off ebay. Many people agree that a $35 replica strut bar performanes as well as one 5x that price. Hope this helps.

Ps-If you do a seach there is alot of other info on the subject

The $35 bars DO work as well as the Cusco and STi bits. They just weigh more, and that's the advantage to the other bars.

Adjustable bars are nice because you can preload the bars and thusly the towers, eliminating movement all together.

yeah it probably would.

Go to procarparts.com and just order it through there. That's actually the bar I got, and I got it through their site instead of ebay, and I think it was cheaper.

total for just the upper front bar would end up to be like 45 bucks , cuz of tax and shipping and stuff.

if i were to win this auction and win it under 5bucks i would end up paying about 30 or so tops, $22 shipping and handling costs so i think ill go for it on e bayfirst and see how it works out
