The rear strut tower bar will require removal of the rear seats but once thats in the V-brace attaches without any removal of those rear seats...

You only need to work in the trunk and a little bit under the car to install it....

Not the V-brace but Yes the rear strut tower bar so If you haven't installed a rear strut tower bar already I guess so...

Pretty sure it HAS to be a cusco... You could try but the brackets would not likely line up

cool thread, exactly what i wanted to see

for some reason it looks really weird to me tho...its too close to an equilateral triangle LOL...does it make a huge difference over a normal 2 point bar? because if it does i would stil consider it but i was mostly into it for the look the be honest

I had this on my wrx... loved it! I forgot to write a couple things down though when I took it off and now I want to put it on my STI. The blue bracket that connects to the metal part undernethe the car... which way is the metal bracket supposed to be, the turned edge should be facing which side of the car the driver's side or passenger side... Also does someone have messurments, as far as where to drill in the trunk... I don't feel like drilling and going into the gas tank... when it was installed on my rex, I was watching while the guy welded new bolts and did the drilling...lol

I thought it was awesome looking! Made the trunk almost usless after install but our trunks don't hold anything anyways...

Thanks,

Cusco stuff here: http://z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?model...ing&prodid=113

remember, to fit a V Brace you need a Cusco rear strut brace (all of them will work)
