Does anyone know if this 18 point Race Brace will fit with an existing Whiteline ALK ?

That with fender braces, PSRS, stiffened tranny/engine mounts, sways, coilovers strut bars and good set of tires would be an absolute monster on the track :lol:

Screw that thing. If anything I would just get the Beatrush frame. All these other frames are lame to me.
The only thing that needs to be done if anything to the front of an STI/WRX GD chassis is to reinforce the link between the two front control arms. If I was savvy enough and had the materials I would make my own brace.
But regardless... they all work to increase the rigidity of the front. Just not worth the cash to me. I want reduced weight with maximum effect if possible

If you have the Whiteline ALK, the Beatrush subframe will not work.
The Kaminari Race Brace [Subframe] will work as will the Oswald Performance Subframe: http://oswaldperformance.com/WRXFRONTSUBFRAME.aspx
*******
If you want to reinforce the link between the control arm front bushings, then you should consider the GT Spec Front Lower Tie Brace, which has a built-in jacking plate: http://www.gtspec.com/product/gtspec-front-lower-tie-brace-0207-wrxsti
If you do use this brace, you cannot use the Oswald Performance Subframe or the Carbing Subframe. In addition, by looking at the picture above, you probably would not be able to use the Kaminari Race Brace [Subframe] either.

There are cheaper ways to get a stiffer frame than this.
