Subaru STI Front Chassis Brace Install | LWRCLSSGARAGE

[@_ajpech]

Just got my 2018 sti yesterday and i couldnt be happier! Thought to comment this for the brethren. Keep up the awesome videos man!

[@Autofreakgarage]

Congrats! Enjoy the new car.

[@emmanuelmendez2701]

Looks sweet! For sure one of the best STI channels

[@creekboi7]

3 weeks isnt much of a wait for a sweet mod. Thanks!

[@WRXMAN-ms2mm]

Great view of your Cobb Redline Carbon Intake Box 👍 with the headlight removed. It is a premium aftermarket part for sure. That brace actually looks like a secondary crash bar or roll cage for your radiator. I honestly wish you the best of luck keeping it somewhat clean. That is not meant to be sarcastic or derogatory or mean. Its just that you keep every aspect of your Subie immaculately super clean.

[@marcosmarquez2926]

Looks amazing and congrats on that early 10k well deserved with the amazing high quality videos 🙌🙌

[@harrycrisp8897]

Apparently I’m a dumbass and I couldn’t understand why I was having such a hard time installing this. I was putting the bottom of the brace UNDER the crash bar and you have it above. Makes so much sense now. I hate myself at how often I do stuff like that and make a install much more harder. Haha.

[@Autofreakgarage]

Haha we’ve all been there! Glad you got it sorted. Enjoy!

[@KaitRose]

OH GREAT. Now this is a need for my build! Thanks. haha :) Amazing content btw!

[@appl3s0ju]

nice, been waiting for this. looking forward to seeing finished work with bumper on!

[@omidbagheri2780]

Thank you for your great videos! It would be really helpful if you can make a video explaining things new owners should do. Whether it comes to maintaining the engine or the body.

[@pranavmoturu]

Love the color scheme u got going. Unique and clean.

[@sgomez805]

Looks sick bro! Clean and simple👌🏼

[@cloudgaming3043]

Nice, like the look but what about water sitting in the tube due to the ends being open?

[@brandonlugo3222]

Thought it was a lot more difficult to put on than that that white looks nice and ties in great. It’ll look awesome when you see it with the bumper on 👍🏼🔥

[@Autofreakgarage]

It was super simple. Granted I had the bumper already off, but it really is a quick 20-30 min job taking your time. Looking forward to the other stuff coming in to tie it all together.

[@MoJoNinjaGarage]

You car looks super clean my man!

[@kevinmucha5996]

I was looking at the turboxs intercooler because it has a colored bar but this is way better for me!

[@Loatsofdetail]

Can’t wait to see it with the bumper bar back on

[@jdbinspired]

that bar though. i need one in my life

[@exotic938]

Great, now I want one because this look amazing!!!

[@kevinmucha5996]

I’m glad we got the same style👍

[@192837465matheus]

Your car looks really good man

[@dustindelaney2255]

Looks so fkn good bro! 🤘🏎🏁

[@soothingchannel9339]

Really liked the look of these on evos and was wondering why we don’t have them for our subies. But damn. Looks shmick! Wonder if there is enough clearance on top bar for hella horns on my STI

[@gavinli7352]

Found couple companies that do those front braces, the one you got is very nice. Tried to contact lower class garage with the custom color, however i still haven’t get any reply. Hopefully they will get back to me. Congratz on the 10k subscribers!

[@Autofreakgarage]

Instagram is the best way to reach them. They aren’t the most responsive, but they get back to you eventually.

[@gavinli7352]

@@Autofreakgarage yup, have sent them a couple messages on IG, still waiting for them to get back to me.

[@TheMikeman31]

Looks clean!

[@adamduckman]

Hey Scooby love the car! I believe you ended up getting titanium works hardware for this bar. Do you remember what size M6/M8? I'm putting in an order with titanium works thought I would see if you remember.

[@Autofreakgarage]

Hard to remember haha. I think an m8

[@adamduckman]

@@Autofreakgarage Thanks for the quick reply. Also wanted to say thanks for inspiring me to get back into car mods. I bought a 21 STI about 6 months ago and after watching your videos and the progress of your car made me realize all the fun I was missing my wallet isn't happy tho 😅

[@Autofreakgarage]

My deepest condolences 😂

[@xzacto]

Yeah, I definitely want one of those on mine!!

[@dozzii6634]

I wish i could get something that will fit with my ETS FMIC.

[@Autofreakgarage]

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like anything is available for the fmic guys. Maybe lwrclss will make something in the future.

[@LegendaryGarageYT]

Will this work with hella horns ?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Yes it clears them

[@ketchupmaster4209]

Thanks for the video. I ordered a white one too

[@_MichaelJames_]

thanks for the list man!

[@cay378]

a friend of mine has the full brace on his 18’ in the matching yellow, very much so want the half but they say it doesn’t fit FMIC, very tempted to get to some cutting 🤣

[@cay378]

oh wait ahahah Cody is my friend who got us both mutually interested 🤣 i should’ve waited to watch the video before commenting!

[@PlumberWRX]

that looks fresh !!!!

[@trvpluiss]

So i just got new rims which they came in 18x9.0 + 30. What tire size would you recommend for this type of rim spec. Lmk please !! rumors are youre the fitment god 😉

[@JimmyBrooks-cj8go]

I know this is an older video but did you have to remove the headlights to get access to anything?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Headlights do not need to be removed. Just the front bumper and crash beam.

[@Judgedredd18]

White looks good on my wrb

[@christopherclapp6911]

I pick up my new 2017 subaru wrx sti tomorrow morning and am wondering what should I do to keep it's engine in the best running condition as possible? I read about needing an air oil separator to prevent oil and filings from getting into the intercooler or engine, is this true? Let me know because I plan on keeping the car a long time and won't interested in ever selling it.

[@hereitcomes9106]

Do you think this would fit with a Front mount intercooler?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Does not fit with a front mount.

[@irvingsanchez5699]

how are you gonna choose the winner? maybe do a live? btw can’t wait to see the outcome of what you’ve got coming!

[@Autofreakgarage]

Will be choosing a random winner from the comments with a KZbin comment generator. I will be contacting them via Instagram. Once announced I will update in a future video and update the description that a winner has been chosen.

@@Autofreakgarage awesome! hopefully i can finally win something for once 😭 been following you for a while now and i’m also trying to build my 2016 Sti like yours!

what front lip is that? i like the s207 style but that one looks good to

I also ordered mine lol question how long did it take for delivery?

[@Autofreakgarage]

About 2-3 weeks

[@shadowbaddogg]

@@Autofreakgarage thank you,can't wait 😁👌🏾

[@tommanning7337]

Love it!!!! I’m surprised you don’t have white Hella horns

[@Autofreakgarage]

Not a fan of how hella’s sound so I never wanted to do them.

[@tommanning7337]

@@Autofreakgarage yeah they do sound kinda crappy,

[@justinanonuevo8004]

Is this to support rigidity or support the front if an unfortunate crash occurs?

[@Autofreakgarage]

It’s more cosmetic than anything. But it does tie two points together, so it does help with some rigidity of the front end. The front crash beam is still there so that will still take any of the front impact if in an accident.

[@jasonmccleary4782]

Do you think there is enough clearance cause I have hella horns instead of the stock horn.

[@Autofreakgarage]

Yes it clears hella horns

[@jasonmccleary4782]

@@Autofreakgarage great! Thank you! Love the channel!

[@realjdm9033]

Beautiful 👌🏻

[@francischu3718]

hey so i have a transmission cooler directly placed on where you should have ur hella horns......would it clear the brace? i have asked the maker already but i have no respond atm

[@Autofreakgarage]

Not sure. After trying to fit the compressive tuning scoop, my guess is no.

[@arnouluckphilayvanh6753]

is it possible to install a fmic with this? seems like there would be some clearance issues.

[@Autofreakgarage]

The full brace does not fit with a fmic. You can get the half brace which does fit.

[@bassmanbn]

You have great taste in upgrades without going over the top. The audio mix was a little off on this one...talking was too quiet and music was too loud. Keep up the awesome work!

[@toooodie8750]

is there any purpose to this or is it mainly for aesthetics ?

[@Autofreakgarage]

More so an aesthetic. However, Anytime you tie to points if a car together, it will increase the rigidity to some extent, so I’m sure it helps a bit in the grand scheme of things. Although, nothing you can notice or feel.

[@jessebudelman]

You got it finally!!! Haha

[@CoYoOT3]

🔥🔥

[@cinaluv15]

Do you torque the crash bar bolts?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Torque spec is mostly for moving parts and mechanical devices. Crash beam doesn’t need to be torqued to a specific spec. Just tight.

[@Peperidgefarm]

Thanks for the website.... I'm looking for that thing.....

[@bryancontreras3900]

Currently trying to put mine on but can’t get the crash bar to line up at all

[@Autofreakgarage]

Hm, it should like up fairly well. Make sure you have it positioned correctly and nothing is interfering it.

[@nonggynakub]

รถในฝัน เจอแนวทางครบๆ อีก หาเงินก่อนนะ

[@xmyko9122]

Did you have to remove the headlights?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Headlights can stay on. Just the bumper and support brace needs to be removed to install.

[@RebelWaz]

Would the hella horns still fit with this brace?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Yes they fit
