Default Cusco rear upper strutbrace

I bought this to fit to my RB5 but as the RB5 has a solid rear bulk head this wont fit.

It will only fit UK spec impreza's, I dont know if it will fit 01>

I posted on RB5 for your rear tail lights.

I will give the brace a miss.

no danger bud. it WILL fit. not easy and very annoying, but take the back seat out, the 3 nuts for the strut top's and slide the strut bar end's in at an angle and they should eventually fit over the threads of the strut top. then fit the bar, nuts and whatever else and your away.

Don't see why the solid bulkhead will make it a different fitment

It might make it slightly more difficault as you have to fit the bar from the boot (UK cars you drop the seats and work from there) but it should still fit!!

You have to take it apart to fit it
There should be a hole (possibly covered in sound deadening mat) by the rear strut top. The "horn" of the "brace ring" goes through this into the boot space. Then bolt the bar to that!!!
