I know some see it as a waste of money, but this is the first car of the 18 cars/projects I've owned in my 20 years of driving that I think I'll actually keep for a really long time and I think this will make me the happiest 10-15 years down the road.

Amen, and amen. Owning a 67 Datsun Roadster, a 74 Celica, and 75 Hilux, these parts will be in demand and attention drawing 20 years from now, if you plan on keeping the car long term like I hope to do.

Apparently they don't recommend running it without a STB. Also, most of the reviews coming out of Japan think its a good part.

Yep, they will be used in combination with the Strut Bar and/or any other applicable chassis stiffeners.

Ahh... Very helpful thanks Beyer Subaru.

That review on STi sounds positive. He indicates it doesn't feel quite as tight as his SPT ladder brace, but still does feel good. I'm guessing if you compared this to stock setup without an ladder brace comparo it would be noticeable over stock config. Color me interested...

Yep, it should be very comparable to all the rigid parts already out - Kansai, Monster, Cusco, TRD, etc. The price is two to three times the cost of the rigid parts though.

HI,

I saw the description on the STI website.
http://www.sti.jp/parts/catalogue/brz_zc6/ST20118AS000.html

It wrote this in the end "
For under cover inner mounting, position of the damper unit has a different left and right." (I use Google translate)
I am not quite sure the meaning. Will this match the LHD or only match the RHD?

It also mention that " I'm developing on the assumption made
Kyochaku STI flexible tower bar and (part number ST20502AS000)"

However, I use Grimmspeed strut tower bar, not STI one.
Do you think that still worth or good idea to combo these two together?
Thanks a lot.
