On a \u003cstrong\u003eSubaru Impreza WRX\u003c\/strong\u003e pushed on a winding road, the gain is felt mainly at corner entry and during rapid weight transfer.

The bar does not add any vertical stiffness: it only works under lateral load between the two shock towers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it interfere with opening the hood or maintenance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, it passes above the engine.
