Default front strut brace - worth it?

Hey,
I can get my hands on a whiteline front strut brace for my 03 wrx but was wondering if i would feel any handling differences or if its mainly for engine bay looks?

Is it worth the money? i can get it for $75

note that you wont feel dramitic increases in handling (maybe placebo.)

I reckon its a bit of a cheek with the WRX how they have bolts and set up for a strut brace but you have to buy it seperatley, i reckon they should just already have it with the car...

on an 03, the noticable difference would be negligable. they're far more rigid than the wrx's of old.
but for $80, its a cheap bit of bling..

You would want a fat arse hunk of iron like an 03 to be more rigid.

I didnt notice any difference when i put my cusco one on my GC8 but for the price its probably worth grabbing it and putthing the money you saved towards sway bars and other handling mods.
