This pic is taken from the Modified 04 STI. It has the GT SPEC GEN II header installed with the HKS turbo kit. Also check Modified Mag March issue for installation article on this brace !!!!

Price: $659 shipped !!!!

does it work with alk's that lower the original subframe brace?

chrisfranklin:

Yes it does. In the picture we have the GT SPEC ALK installed.

What about the Perrin ALK?

yes it does fit the Perrin ALK. Tested before.

guys, go pick up the new issume modified mag, March 2005, they did a complete install article on the GT SPEC subframe brace and the GT SPEC anti lift kit. Nice pictures and details of the installation !!!!

NICE!!! Gonna pick up 1 set for my wrx. It should work every well for the track. Plus the weight reduction won't hurt either.

can you use these with the stock iron manifolds?

Do the rear bars work on an RS/TS?

it will work on 02 to 05 Impreza WRX/STI/RS.

can you use these with the stock iron manifolds?

or do you need the GT SPEC ver 2 header or Gruppe-s header in order for these to fit correctly?

it will work with stock header also. Haven't test this on GP Sport and Invidia header yet.

thanks

Is there any way to get the splash guard to fit back on? During winter time I wouldn't want to have all the salt and slush sprayed up into my engine bay. I like the brace and can see why it would be so effective but the splash guard in my mind is a necessity.

with zip tie or longer bolt, you might be able to put it back on. Or you can take it off in the winter. with the jack stand, it took us 1 hours to 2 hours for to take off the subframe and install the new 14 points subframe.

Will this work on a GC with GD subframes?

hmmm, not sure never try it. How do you get a GC8 with GD frame ?

PM sent :)

Thanks

The GD subframes will bolt up under a GC body. I will be running the subframes and suspension links from a GD.

Do we have to have a turbo crossmember to do that?Let me know how it goes, I'm very interested. Thanks

How much is that???? :eek: NICE!!!!

I think it's $225 retail price. You should be able to get it for $199 once it is released.

bump...

12.5 lbs savings. Not sure if I like this more than the do-luck but at least they made a really nice piece.

The do-luck can't even compare to the GT Spec piece.I've installed both and the GT Spec is nicer and fits better.

but it's more expensive and heavier...so it's about priorities.

bump.

In my earlier post I ment crossmembers not subframes, if that changes your answer any.

ttttttt

ttttt

still have these available !!!

Bump for something really cool that I didn't know existed and that I wish that I had the $$ to get for my car :D

Is this modification actually noticeable?
