Product Details
This Whiteline Front Strut Tower Brace fits the 1996-1997 Subaru Impreza WRX Brighton (GC/GF). This part is for the front of the vehicle. Application note: Mid Mount. In the box: 1 strut brace and 6 washers. Part number KSB550.
Chassis stiffness is easy to underrate. A brace across the strut towers connects two points that would otherwise move on their own, which keeps the front suspension working as designed and gives the steering a more consistent, communicative feel.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about half an hour. It does not require a wheel alignment. We also list 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit, and Front Steering Rack And Pinion Mount Bushing for the Impreza WRX Brighton.
Features
