Excess weight can literally hold your vehicle back like an anchor on a boat. PERRIN has once again found a clever and ingenious way to reduce both weight from the car and improve structural rigidity to further enhance your suspension. The PERRIN PerformanceTM Sub Frame Brace system allows removal of up to 36lbs from the front end of your Impreza by simply bolting this on (weight savings varies based on model year.) Additionally, it "cross-locks" each mounting point of the engine cradle to the PERRIN Sub Frame System, adding strength, and prevents flex under hard cornering.. Powder coated, wrinkle red finish complements our Signature Series Front Mount Intercoolers, and other suspension components. Made from extruded, rectangle tube aluminum. TIG welded for strength.
