Awesome product!
As this is an STi product, I expected it to be high-quality. However, it has surpassed my expectations! It's super lightweight, and the fitment was simple and straightforward (you'll need to loosen the bolts connecting the bar to the endplates with an Allen key as the nuts are welded in place). The car feels more sure-footed, more planted, and more predictable at speed through the corners. I increased my entry and exit speed by approx. 20kph and it's still got more to offer! It's also smoothed the impact when going over speedbumps, which is an unexpected but welcome benefit.

Excellent JDM OEM product!
Highly recommend if you're riding on stock suspension and you're looking for a suspension upgrade. The 'flexible joint' had me skeptical, but after testing it out the past month IT WORKS! Basically, the added flexibility is only applied if there is any lateral force (ie. pot holes, breaks in the road) which makes the ride more comfortable and the front end more adaptable to the harsh road, but as the car goes into a turn (doesn't necessarily need to be a quick turn) the bar presses together to prevent the front end of the car from flexing and making turns more crisp and precise. It's not easy to explain - but my wife gets car sick when I take tunes, especially high speed, but with the STI flexible strut tower brace installed the car keeps its composure regardless of high speed or low speed and she doesn't feel car sick. To sum it up it's most definitely a performance mod but also allows the driver to feel more confident taking turns at higher speeds while giving passengers a more comfortable experience through turns and on harsh roads. If you're looking for the entire JDM STi suspension package trifecta for JDM precision handling on the track or on the windy roads then you'll need to install the STI flexible strut brace, STI flexible draw stiffener, and STI flexible support sub frame rear. But even if you're not interested in tracking your WRX and it's just your daily driver then the STI flexible strut tower brace on it's own is a must have mod.
