Ever tried to find a safe, solid place to put a front jack stand on the 2022+ VB Subaru WRX? It turns out, Subaru completely missed the mark from the factory on a dedicated front lift point.
In this video, we are fixing that exact design flaw by installing the Perrin Front Control Arm Braces. Not only do these heavy-duty, beautifully machined aluminum plates give you a rock-solid, dedicated location to safely lock your jack stands into place, but they also completely transform your handling geometry. By adjusting the suspension geometry by about 10mm, this single mod helps eliminate front-end understeer under hard braking and gives you maximum traction when accelerating out of the corners.
I’ll walk you through the entire step-by-step DIY installation, compare the cheap factory stamped steel plates to the premium Perrin pieces, and show you exactly how to load the suspension on ramps to properly neutralize your bushings.
