Question Cusco/Gt Spec subframe Braces

I am looking at getting the Cusco Titanium Front strut brace, Cusco Carbon rear strut brace and the GT SPEC sub frame braces. If anyone is currently using them on a 05’ STI, any feedback on these parts will be appreciated. I would just like a little input before I purchase them.

I only have a cusco carbon rear strut tower brace and it helped a little. I have an 03 as well though. It seemed to flatten the rear ever so slightly in hard cornering. I would recomend it if you get a deal. I bought the bar used for 100.00, but if I had to pay full price 200 some dollers, I would have just found a cheap bar. It's not dramaticly different. Call it a finishing touch to suspension. A friend of mine said that about the subframe brace on his STI as well.

just go with an ebay replica sti bar if your getting a strut bar, at around 70 bucks w/shipping for both front and rear you cant lose... and on top of that a strut bar is a strut bar, brand does matter a little but you pay for the company name more than anything.

Look into the do-luck subframe as an alternative to the GT-spec. It is aluminum and a couple of my friends have them and LOVE them. Plus they are a true replacement for the stock subframe.
