Product Details
Made to fit the 2002-2005 Subaru Impreza WRX (GD/GG), the Front Strut Tower Brace (Large Top Mount Intercooler) from Whiteline. It goes on the front of the vehicle. Whiteline part number: KSB599. In the box: 1 strut brace and 3 brackets.
A strut tower brace ties the two upper strut mounts together with a rigid bar, so the tops of the front struts cannot flex independently when cornering loads push on the body. Holding them steadier helps keep alignment angles consistent and sharpens steering feel.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about half an hour. No alignment is needed afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Impreza WRX: Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Rear Trailing Arm Lower Front Bushing.
Features
- Install guide: Instructions for fitting are packed in the box.
- Finish: A polished alloy finish adds to the look.
- Chassis stiffness: Helps keep alignment angles and spring rates consistent by cutting down flex.
- Corrosion protection: Plated finish keeps rust off the hardware.
