As usual, excellent info. Thanks guys

 

Cheers for the tyre pressure info guys ;-)

Will try and get some pics of the car up soon.
Only had it a couple of days but I absolutely love it;-)

 

Can anyone recommend and droplinks for the hatch, just had my 4 year service and they are on their way out, and are they easy to fit without the need for geo?

Cheers
Arron

 

Would say OEM but Whiteline now have sealed ball jointed ones as well.....

No geo required...............

 

Cheers Don, dealer also getting me price for ProR ones so will compare.

4 year service for £353 inc Vat, can't grumble at that at all!

 

Don't think they do any for the Hatch onwards..........

 

hi peeps got a bit of a problem, I have a 08 wrx sti my front passenger side strut it knocking, to replace one strut is £555 so do i just bend over or should i go for a set of bk racing coilovers since there a tad more expensive but replaces the full lot. TBH im not to keen on coilovers I'm worried about the quality of the ride and i do load the car up at least once a week. There was a set of 2012 oem sti struts and springs up for sale for a while but typical luck he has withdrew them from sale they would have been ideal, so suggestions please

 

Having just removed a set of BC's and replaced them with Bilstein B16's, I can honestly say I can't recommend them. Within a year of having them fitted, the front two struts were knocking quite badly. The ride is overly firm and pretty unforgiving. You get what you pay for and this is evident in the new Bilsteins; the ride is so much smoother and the handling is vastly improved. If you can wait, I believe Litchfield have a new strut and spring set up from Bilstein in development that doesn't cost anywhere near the price I paid for the coilovers. Iain mentioned pricing around £900 but they won't be available for another month or so. Probably worth waiting for as Litchfield are all over stuff for the hatch.

 

I would get a set of billys and go for a soft road setup cars will handle much better!

 

Cant Knock the BC's in all honesty. You must have been unlucky. I run 6kg 8kg spring rates 15 clicks from soft, 60,000 miles on those and no hint of a knock in sight, as far as I'm concerned if they failed tomorrow they've served me well & i'd buy another set

Just my opinion, Infact come to mind mine were the first set of BC's ever fitted to a hatch in the uk as they had to be ordered in for me

 

ive fitted BC,s on mine when i had problem with front struts not had any problems with mine

 

Just broken the front splitter (oem Sti lip) on a 6" high garden wall...

Don't think I'm willing to shell out £350 + to Subaru again so what are the preferred options ?

Any better looking lips ? Was there some photos back on Page ???

What can you recommend ?

I guess the oem Sti piece is repairable - clean break - but the time removing it and repairing would equate to a cheaper replacement I guess

How about the ht auto splitter

 

so is anyone interested in the white line stuff i have for sale otherwise it will be going on flea bay later today

 

Does anyone have a roof rack for the hatch they want to sell?

 

Where is the best place to get a strut brace

 

I keep looking at these Ultra Racing ones from the states, Purly because they come already in white

Or for a better looking built one a Tanabe Sustec

 

Rely just looking for a cheep on with what I have read thay don't do that much

 

more for reducing Upper stut top flex on the body shell when enduring hard cornering.

 

Thinking of sorting out some winter wheels and tyres. Anyone selling any GT1's in anthracite 18" x 7.5" PCD 100 ET53? (WRXS).
Anyone with any feed back on winter tyres?
Thanks.

I am just about to list my hatch 17" alloys with snow tyres, i will get some details on tomorrow.

 

Bit early for that is it not

 

Guys, anyone know best/cheapest place for Whiteline parts, remember seeing a comment a few pages back on a recomendation but cannot find it!

 

Julian is usually pretty competitive on prices.............

or Tim

http://www.scoobyparts.com/

 

Cheers Don

 

RB5 286 is selling a few bits unused.

Demon Tweeks do a Scoobynet discount - Dave ( surname begins with F, I forgot! Featherstone? )

 

Cheers, yes Mark has all the good bits, just need droplinks though which unfortunately he does not have.

Tim and Scoobyparts seems to be best so far!
