freebengrad Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm looking into getting a strut bar for my front struts, but would it be in my best interest to just get a rear strut bar as well? By having only a front strut bar installed in the car, would it essentially lead to problems down the road since the car is all wheel drive? And yes I'm a noob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberlegacy Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 They aren't needed. The chassis is plenty strong. Better swaybars/endlinks is your best option. Remember to search and read the stickies. Lots of good info '08 Legacy 2.5i - hybrid intake - delta 1000 - E85 - magnaflow exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebengrad Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 hmm ok. any decent manufacturers in mind for the sways? and would i still have to install front and rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberlegacy Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I don't have any experience with them yet, but I see a lot of people upgrading the rear first. Whiteline is the only brand that makes a front bar for the 2.5i, all the rear GT bars fit fine. I'll be going with Whiteline front and rear when I do mine.

I've run them for the the past three years no problems. If you upgrade the rear bar, upgrade the mounts as well. All I need now is a hill holder and a center passing light...

Whiteline and SuperPro also make one. You need a shop press to remove the old bushing and to place the new one. You can pull your own LCA and have a Machine shop swap the bushing if you want to DIY.
