I'm actually quite surprised that a north American model actually got an sti performance accessory finally installed. I guess this is finally the beginning of the increased presence of sti here as previewed by the sti performance concept.
The flexible strut tower bar (pictured at center; ignore the v-bars) is installed in quite a few of the builds on here. Works as advertised, increasing lateral stiffness but allowing vertical flexibility via a ball joint at the center of the bar. Allows the car to still ride bumps smoothly while still giving the benefit of a strut tower.
