I don't know if you can buy them any more but they are easy to make if you can weld. If you can't weld maybe you can find someone near you who can, heh.

Someone mentioned that they modded an FC strut brace to fit thier FB. Keep any eye on the for sale section too. I think thhere may be one in there now.

In a couple of months, there's a good chance that there will be a reproduction of the original RE brace that I have on the widebody.

Ebay works. But those RB ones go for a bunch of $$, used or new. They are nice.

I was on a euro site earlier and some one took a impreza bar and turned it around backwards. they said it was bolt on did not state the year though. if it does fit ,might be more options. the fc one does fit but you have to oblong the holes in the mounts and on some of them the alt has clearance issues.
