One of the first mods I did on my '14 Forester XT was replace the stock bar with an OEM STI rear bar for like $110. It made a MASSIVE difference in how that thing handles.
It was only like a 2mm thickness jump, but it was immediately noticeable. Much more planted and instantly playful without any downsides. It definitely didn't over-stiffen the rear.
Absolutely shoul've come that way from the factory.
Has anybody made one for the Ascent yet? I assume it is not a standard OEM dimension from any other Subaru's?
