rpiereck Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Would an H Brace for a 06 Impreza fit a 08 Forester? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpiereck Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 No Turbo here, but why would it fit on a Turbo, but not on a n/a? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOthis Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) It should work fine....unless it says on the packaging or instructions or whatever that it wont..... Edited January 11, 2009 by EVOthis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Since they are both based on the same platform and no major changes have been done in those model years. It should fit. Might want to peek at the sway bar mounts and sizes. The turbo model is different than the NA version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scooby Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 if the brace is for the 06 impreza 2.5i, then it will fit. but if its listed as 06 WRX/STi then it will not fit. different exhaust placement for the turbo makes it fit.

EVOthis Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I think it all depends on what brand it is...I have seen universal ones that will fit both turbo and n/a models... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scooby Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 i got one for my 96 impreza outback, ebay brand, cusco, then a Mine's, none fit, they all hit my exhaust. same thing with a friend on his 03 2.5rs. you can get the control arm brace which is the bar that goes between the control arms, but not a H-brace.

EVOthis Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 yeah you could always just replace the front Subframe with an aftermarket unit...It looks really cool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scooby Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 who makes a replacement subframe for the GD cars? i know there are subframe braces, but no replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOthis Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 http://www.customcarscentral.com/prnpspsus550-subaru-wrx-sti.html i saw these the other day on an STI at work.....they looked pretty impressive...and not really as big a pricetag as i thought...ive heard of a few others but cant remember them off the top of my head...

The Scooby Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 ya that is a sub frame brace, like a sub-frame connectors for third gen camaro/firebird and foxbody mustangs. that is not a replacement for your oem parts, just adds to it.

EVOthis Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 well the STI i saw the perrin one on did not have the stock subframe in place...but the thing handled like it was on rails.... another one i found a few months ago and was thinking about putting on the WRX.... http://www.rallysportdirect.com/shop/beatrush-wrxsti-super-light-subframe-p-3065.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
