Rear drop links.
Any recommendations for rear drop links other than OEM?

The seals gone on 1 and the other's not looking too clever either but I'm baulking at £80 a side from Subaru.

TIA, Neil

Just their age I think (my car's well out of 3 year waranty period) plus they've been on and off more than a few times now which I don't think has helped.

I wonder if it would be possible to find new seals for them somewhere as there's no wear (yet) in the ball and socket. Google here I come!

The spoiler totally transforms this car into one hell of a looker.
Still a bit pricey though for 296 bhp although definitely looks the business.
Enjoy it !

Happy with your selling price of the WRX-S ?

Meguiars APC if it isn't too bad or Super Degreaser if its a little worse. Then some 303 Aerospace to dress the plastics.

I sure hope so too, allthough its only the second time its been out in 3 years so i can forgive it but I got to do the bits I wanted this time without being in a rush so I'm quite pleased in a way, just a shame it had to bugger the cylinder head and gasket

It is still in the final stages of development at the moment, but we have a 2008 Hatch belonging to jaypSTi as our test subject. They expect full release to be approximately 2 weeks off.
Downshift autoblip is awesome in the lanes

We currently have a small issue concerning a limiter that appears to cut 50% fuel at 7300rpm despite having the rom set to soft cut at 7800rpm. Ecutek are on the case trying to resolve the issue as it is easy to clip the limit with the amount of grunt Jay's car has.
Once sorted we are going to get some meth in the tank and using the second map option, wind it up some more.
The SC46 Jay's car is fitted with is an awesome bolt on turbo and we are currently building another Hatch to very similar specs. We'll let the owner update you on the progress of that one when he gets it back in the near future.

Salsa,

Have you looked at the Pogo Alert or Pogo drive, I moved from B2 to Pogo drive, and when the car was nicked from my garage at home ( not recovered ) I went to a pogo alert.

Still good kit. The pogo's stick to the window with a sucker like tom tom, not in the way at all!
