Hey i hear a lot about strut bars doing some good for these cars.
i my self have a 94 turbo legacy with : wrx front brakes , wrx lowering springs , wrx wheels , and some other go fast junk you may have seen .
im finding out that at 128k miles some things are worn out so im UPGRADING wooooo
so along with new and upgraded suspention bits i would like to know what strut bars i can fit to my 4 door legacy ?
any info would be great !

Essentially any of them assuming you have no intercooler.

I didn't realize you mean front and rear. The front is the "universal" one while the rear has to be specific to your car.
Don't expect much from the rear bar if you have a sedan.
I believe fender braces make a bigger difference in the front than a strut bar.

Guarantee you that the proper fit one for your car has been written about in this forum before.

Agree with ciper on the fender braces. They do seem to stiffen up the chassis. I just posted about installing the TiC braces.

I had the saab IC and now the 06 wrx tmic, and my front bar fits just fine. I think it was for a 93 impreza...I think?
