Has anyone tried the Y2K Motors bracing package? I found this on ebay and it looks to be a hell of a deal if its any good.
I'm kinda new to the Subie mods area... but have a ton of experience with American made cars.
It seems like as long as braces fit, there really isn't much to go wrong with them.



Thoughts, anyone?

 

looks just like the STi replica strut bars... dunno about the brace though

 

Is that a good thing?

 

The STi replica bars are pretty weak in the regard that they probably don't reinforce the chassis much. Also, strut bars in general don't help a whole lot, and unless they're literally dirt cheap it's not worth the money. It's more of a show factor than anything else.

I got my STi replica strut bars as a Christmas gift, so I put them on. I noticed a tiny bit more understeer but nothing huge, so I know they've stiffened up the chassis a little bit. Overall though, it hasn't done much to the feeling of the car at all. And I wouldn't spend more than ~$15 on a set because i'm cheap .

 

i have all 3...... i painted them purple...to match the helix strut tops...bah ill buy some fuji heavy carbon fiber at the end of the summer

 

I'm giving it a shot... all three for less than $100 shipped
