About this part

The KSB551 front strut brace from Whiteline covers the 1994–2000 WRX and STi, sedan and wagon, and the 1997–2002 Forester, and ships as a single anodised alloy brace. A flexing strut tower changes camber under load in ways an alignment sheet never shows, and tying the towers together stops that movement, which shows up most on turn-in and through mid-corner bumps. It bolts in in about half an hour, after which the car needs a wheel alignment.
