Every new vehicle should come with a strut tower brace. I don't see why they don't.
Or at least make it a factory option.
It DRASTICALLY increased stability in my 1997 Maxima when cornering or using on and off ramps around the city.

If you lift or otherwise remove the car from a perfectly level(in the planes of X,Y, and Z) surface, you shift the entire front suspension, however slightly. Everything bends.
Strut tower brace installs are best done on the ground, within 2 degrees perfectly flat in every direction.

Ok, time to get hated on. I installed a megan racing top strut on my 05 wrx, I didnt torque anything down to anything specific. Did I mess up? And on the bar I did the same thing. Just bolted it all up. Am I skipping any sets

what does a strut bar do?
24ft lb it the torque spec listed from Subaru on the strut top bolts. (this is not a critical measurement. Just tighten them without breaking them)
The larger bolts in the brace itself can be tightened to 40ft lbs. (again just tighten them there is not need to measure. Tight is good enough. This is not a critical measurement.)

shouldnt the front wheels be off the ground b4 you remove the tower bolts -_-;;;

No. If the wheels were off the ground the strut would drop into the fender well when the bolts are removed.
When installing a strut tower brace it is best to leave the vehicle on the ground.
