Product Details
Owners of the 1998-2000 Subaru Impreza WRX RS can fit the Whiteline Front Strut Tower Brace. The chassis code on the listing is GC/GF. You receive 1 strut brace and 6 washers. Placement: front. Application note: Mid Mount. 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.
Installation is rated moderate, with about half an hour of work listed. No alignment is needed afterward. To go with it on the Impreza WRX RS, see 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit, and Front Steering Rack And Pinion Mount Bushing.
