My thought is that would put way too much stress on the crossmember and to the block when car is driven aggressively.

Only way I see that working is with solid transmission mounts. Getting rid of pitch mount is not a smart move for looking pretty.

A beam between the front legs and a intercooler

Are you using a mil-spec connector for your harness? Care to share any details of the harness?

not much to share, its pretty simple to do, just time consuming.

I'm pretty sure they don't make a milspec for our car yet. I'm guessing he did it himself

it is milspec. with subaru you cant just have one kind, every year something changes and you would need to make one for each change. plug alone is $350, labor i must have spent over a week figuring it out. if i had to charge to do a milspec harness for a suby youre looking at $2500-$3000 easy

Thanks for the input xdrian, I'm hoping to go a similar route and was curious to know if there were any major problems/difficulties getting the harness together. I'm actually going to be reworking the old harness, removing wires, and then hopefully going to a single mil spec connector low on the firewall.

Can someone provide some input on what they did with the harness that goes along the passenger fender?
