The GrimmSpeed Strut Tower Brace ties the front strut towers together with a rigid aluminum bar, reducing chassis flex and improving how precisely the front suspension responds to input. It's a straightforward bolt-in upgrade using the factory strut mounting bolts, built for the classic Impreza, Legacy, and Forester chassis platforms listed below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey

aluminum front strut tower brace that connects the left and right strut towers to reduce chassis flex and sharpen front-end handling on classic Subaru platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich vehicles fit the GRM091016?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis brace fits 1993-2007 Subaru Impreza, 1994-1999 Subaru Legacy, and 2003-2008 Subaru Forester.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this interfere with the factory engine cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost factory engine covers clear the brace, but very tall aftermarket intakes or covers may require adjustment or removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes installation require cutting or drilling?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, the brace bolts directly to the factory strut top mounting points without
