A nice shiny strut brace is a pretty cheap (and fairly light) sexy cosmetic upgrade. It will impress your girlfriend and neighbor with the WRX for sure.
I have to agree. I resisting installing a strut brace for years because I wasn't convinced it really made any difference, but finally installed the Elephant Racing triangulated one (which is really nice, BTW) because I had pretty much run out of easy things to do on the car. I don't have monoballs, but all of the other bushings are poly, etc.

I can't tell the difference. I don't think it made any measurable difference in laps times, etc. It sure does look nice, though.
