Cusco Ti front strut bar

Ok guys, so after calling subydude and IM'ing them multiple times, they have failed to help me out with a basic question. -1 to them. (headache right now, pissy mood, sorry)

On their site, it says that it will not fit the 06 STi. Does that mean that it will not fit the 06 wrx as well due to them having the same chassy etc, or is it because of the STi's bigger intercooler? If so, is there a certain strut front strut bar I should get so that in the future I am able to put in an sti i/c? I am trying to plan ahead here. Thanks guys!

Would imagine it's due to the intercooler on the STi. Usually that is the reason that some strut bars don't fit on the STi...

But, not sure whether or not it'll fit the WRX model.

Give them another shot on the phone, or post in the SubyDude section. They'll get back to you, just give them a little time, or give them a call.

Already talked to a guy on the phone and they were supposed to call me back, never did. Perhaps this thread will grab em. But either way, I just need some info so maybe if someone else has it they might know.

most likely due to the intercooler size.

Cusco

Hello

The Cusco Bar will work on a 06 WRX not STI. I work at Mach III in the city and we've fitted the bar on a 06 already. If you are interested we also have Beat Rush bars in stock that will fit also. Come by or call us at 415-594-0030 I can get the bar for you if you like.

Thanks

In that case, do you guys know of a good bar that would clear the sti i/c?

Morgan, you're such a newb. All you had to do was ask anyone in EBAIC and you would've gotten a correct answer. Here is the thread showing that bar installed on my STI: https://www.i-club.com/forums/showth...ighlight=cusco .
FYI, that bar is now on Justin's STI.

Mike of GnuTek (aspen06) can get you anything Cusco at the best price and quickly too. He also has a titanium rear STB in stock.
