    Does anyone know of a MC brace for a '93-'01 Impreza? I have been looking for one for a while and can't find anything. At this point I'm considering making one myself.

    Turns out MRT makes one, but it's $150 plus shipping. I'm going to see if I can make one, they aren't too complex.

    Cusco makes one, there is one that keeps popping up on auction for 8500yen.

    edit:
    which would be cool if you had RHD.

    I wonder if Carbing ever made one (strut tower bar with integrated MCB). I know they don't sell one commercially, but maybe they made one for a rally team, or sent one to Tein USA for R&D. Maybe give Tein a call? http://www.tein.com/carbing/index.html
    Fabbing one up shouldn't be too bad. If you need to borrow the GD chassis Cusco MCB for a mock up/template or something lmk.

    Well that's a bit tragic. I suggested that he talk to *you* about making one. With the fancy stuff you guys put out, I'd've thought a bent metal plate with a bolt through it would've been a piece of cake.

    Ok- so I've got something in the works. I'll keep everyone updated once it make progress. :)

    Currently Friday is my only day of the week off, so don't expect anything very quickly. Maybe in a few weeks.
