New member-only had the car for 5 years!!
Guys -please give me some advice on this one.
Car is a 98 s plate with 78k which i have had for the last 5 years.
As parts have "worn out" i have replaced with sensible upgrades.
It has full stainless steel exhaust,k+n filter/induction kit/ebc grooved and drilled with red-stuff.
I replaced front drop links last week with standard subaru parts at my local garage (i had never used this site before-so i know this was an opportunity missed £50 a side for std droplinks)
When up on the ramps i have noticed that two of my struts are leaking so will obviously need replaced (1 front 1 back)before mot.
I know i need to replace all 4 but with what and should i do the springs at the same time-i spent most of yesterday reading through some of the posts so i know you guys will have the best answer.
I do not want to spend a fortune (kid on the way) and am not overly concerned about lowering etc etc.
This place powerstation seems to be excellent-what is the equivalent in the glasgow area (if there is one) as i understand that i will need to get all the geometry sorted out-the cars all over the place.

I'm near you and use Dastek, they have the laser 4 wheel alignment setup. Give Paul a call. They're a good bunch over there and have all the kit etc.
(Although i'm down south next week, so using Powerstation this time)
Maybe check out the For Sale & Group Buy sections on here, there may be someone selling just what you're after.
(Oh, and how come it took you 5 years to find us?!?
)
