In theory.
This lower arm bar has link ***** on both ends and is to be installed between both ends of the under floor cross member. Similar to the Flexible Tower Bar, this design controls the input of unnecessary forces.* For A/B type vehicles with turbo
* The explanation of this product is for Japanese specification.

When the pillow balled front arms came in, they revised the chassis design in that area and went with the "draw stiffeners" to tighten up the front subframe/crossmember.
This STI original sports performance part applies moderate tension between the vehicle body and cross member to prevent the chassis from bending when you drive the vehicle. This results in agile and responsive initial steering, as well as a comfortable ride. The vehicle will boast better grip on all four wheels, improved stability when cornering, and also fast and responsive steering performance.* The explanation of this product is for Japanese specification.
With the later WRX and other models with the FA engine they only use one

Looking back at a few items it's interesting that with the draw stiffeners they also give a setting for rev A/B as well, but slightly stiffer

Gonna be honest here. I like JDM models and have owned a Spec C Type RA which was a brilliant car, but I think they sound utter rubbish. People say about them 'screaming', sounding like rally cars etc etc, but to me, they just sound like any other car with a big ol' coke can on the back. I much prefer the low, distinctive rumble of the unequal setup. Personal preference and all that.

I prefer the dissonant lub dub, but alos love the equal headers. 'Scream' is not something I would use as a descriptive though

Jet engine maybe
