Ok I'll bite :) I was considering one a few years ago, but the general feeling that I got when I asked was that since the struts are so close to the firewall (minimal flex as a result) that the effects of a strut bar on my daily driver would not be noticable unless I was taking it to the track. People still do it and seem to like it though.

Dang it! I just did a long write up of pros and cons on suspension setup and the internet ate it!

 

Heres a short version: Impreza chassis is very stiff already, only if you intend to fit very stiff springs will you need a strut tower brace.

 

For AutoX you should start by fitting an adjustable rear sway bar. It will allow you kill the roll induced understeer, by balancing the car.

 

Lowering an all McPherson strut setup will induce more roll. Just go for stiffer dampers, and leave your ride height alone.

 

After fitting dampers, get an alignment, and get as close to -1 degree camber on the front as possible. (Stock is 0.0)

Rear camber should be similar, but easy to get, as this is close to stock.
