Yea, the 330 wheels are pretty chunky. BBS forged are the ones to get if you can,

They are very rare wheels and new. Second hand ones won't be much cheaper than £1k AFAIK.

Or suggest an effective alternative.

They look similar to these but you need to check hole size



or similar from carbuilders (and probably many other places)

Thanks Don.

I had seen those. They all go into round holes. Subaru like to be different.

The holes in the rear subframe are slotted or elongated. The Subaru clips are made to

suit and this ensures the clips are correctly orientated for the wire they support.

I’ll have to try them and see how they do. If I’m not happy with them I’ll try Subaru.

They will want me to purchase a clip kit I’m sure.

The image - with part number - is for a subaru clip although you will probably find that the clips only come with the LH rear loom.
They only do a clip set for the Front Loom.

Matt, I did a few years ago. Replaced the front side lights with those off Salsa King on here, looked great. Usual MOT garage then failed the car as the colours didn't match!!!
Although this garage also failed the wife's Focus cos she had a tree air freshner hanging off the mirror!

Tried a different garage, no problem!

LED's all round now bar headlamps, including inside the cab.

That's reassured me a bit )

I also put some Lunex D2S in for the dipped and happy with them for the price, the old bulbs had clearly faded over time.

Keeping all the front bulbs at between 6000-6500k.

That's a great idea and looking forward to reading about your findings! Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge (or time to invest to learn

How did you get on out on track? Looked like you’d cleaned the car on your second run..

The car was embarrassingly dirty all day!! The track was awesome, first session I just hung in there, too much to take in. Second session was much more enjoyable. My discs and pads weren't fully bedded in and didn't inspire confidence, and suspension needs some work, but the motor was superb and really needs little more power wise.

You looked a lot faster on the second run. I saw four hatches in the end yesterday.

I met Trooper 1715 too by chance; he kindly gave me scenic driving routes in Wales this time 3 years ago. His Legacy was immaculate

Yes it was good to chat. We’ll have to have a Cornish hatch gathering one day. Glad your track time went well. 👍

I had AST's and BC's, found em a bit harsh to be honest, but then the roads round here are not in the best condition.

Then again, i had Tein's on the blob and liked them. Definately try and get a go in a car with coils before you go for it because it's quite a change.

i picked up a set a good few years back of the Bilstein/eibach coilovers from a CS400. they are as near as perfect for uk roads - which would make sense given thats what they are designed for. Fronts are not height adjustable but rears.

had to get the rears rebuilt there as they blew a seal - but bilstein refurb them for £100 per side. springs are eibach of the shelf springs - ive since fitted dustcovers to the rears which was the reason i suspect it blew the seal originally

Cheers Hugh
