i recently bought a pink sti replica underbody h-brace..it was from a former i-club member i believe..never used and ill say that i like it.. made some difference wen i was cutting corners about 40 to 50 at a light with no cars around.. making some chirppy sound..since you guys said the rear would make a difference then i would sure like to ebay a rear strut bar
i also cambered my wheels out a lilttle.

I have ebay towers front and rear, I dont have any creeks or anything, they dont flex very easily, the only bad is the paint on them is pretty cumby, it flakes off, but I sanded down and engine enamel painted them, and they look sweet, few months later paint still on, they still havnt snapped.

I have the Cusco H-brace and I really like it. It helped with turn-in.

Makes me wanna find a cheap one and try it

From personal experience, the H-brace lateral links/trailing arms, sway bars, and rear strut bar makes huge differences that you will feel. The only cons about some of these parts is that it makes either a lot of noise or can get very uncomfortable for daily driving. Example would be the lateral links/trailing arms. Other than that, all the parts I listed makes the car handle GREAT!

I have an ebay rear strut bar on my sedan, noticed some improvement/stiffness when I first installed it, but dont notice it now....not bad for such a cheap mod. And not any "new" noises arose from install......fitment was not GREAT, had to kinda force one of the braces on the strut, but it ended up working out.
