I ordered a GAB strut tower bar for the Impreza, but it wouldn't clear the intercooler, so it went on the Forester.
The install is the same, with removing the 12mm nuts from the strut tops under the hood placing the bar on and reinstalling them. Be VERY careful when reinstalling them, as the only should be torqued to 12lb/ft of torque. There have been several reports of people breaking the bolts off by overtightening.
