Maximizing the effectiveness and predictability of your Subaru Impreza suspension can only be accomplished by eliminating as many flex points in your chassis as possible. Unibody vehicles with strut suspensions are notorious for having a lot of give in the strut and lower control arm mounting points, so it makes sense that strengthening these areas can only improve your ride's handling characteristics. Installing a new Subaru Impreza tie bar can literally be the missing link your ride needs to improve its performance.

Much like strut bars, Subaru Impreza tie bars help tighten up your vehicle's chassis and minimize flex between your lower control arms or chassis tube during cornering and aggressive driving. In fact, many newer vehicles now come equipped with chassis reinforcement bars from the factory, so we're certainly inclined to believe that they do indeed work very well. Of course, tie bars will work better on some chassis more than others due to the difference in strength of the factory design, but our belief is that every little bit helps since a fraction of a second on the track could mean the difference between winning and losing.

Q: How do you install a tie bar?
A: A tie bar, like a strut bar, can be installed in minutes with basic hand tools.

Q: Are tie bars available for the front and rear of each vehicle?
A: Depending on the type of car, front and rear tie bars might be available.

Q: What are tie bars? Why but a tie bar?
A: A tie bar is a lower arm brace that ties the front and rear lower control arms to the chassis to prevent flex at the lower arms. Think of the tie bar as a complementary piece to the upper strut bars. They are another means of improving the suspension of your car and preventing body roll when making turns.
