What type of Chassis stiffening is out there for WRX?
Please forgive me for asking what (even to me) seems like a simple question. I dont know what it is, maybe its because my track car is a mustang, but I have this thing with making a vehicle's chassis ultra stiff. Call me a suspension *****, if you will, but I'm wondering what kind of braces are available for the WRX and who manufactures the best quality units?
I can assume that there are front and rear strut tower braces, but what else is there and what are the hot companies? Does Cusco offer a package?
Any direction would be appreciated and once again, forgive my ignorance.

lots of companys make front and rear strut braces along with sway bars
cusco makes lower arm bars which stiffen up the underside
if you really want to stiffen your chassis, get a roll cage

Do-Luck makes aluminum subframes, as well as in car braces that fit on the rear floorpan. i think that world one performance carries them.
there are also STi made inner fender braces, lower arm bars, and things like that.

i've been oggling the Do-Luck stuff pretty hard as of late. its on the World One website, but i don't know if they have it in stock yet or not. i've been thinking about it after i get a set of race seats and a harness bar (which will do quite a bit to stiffen the chassis by itself) in the car. the subframe looks espescially sweet.

yeah, i've been looking at the cusco V-brace too. i've got a rear strut bar that should be here next week, but i haven't decided whether or not to go with the V. is it that noticeable?
