It seems wat i'm asking for is a lot because there's just a plethora of information and it's taken me a long time to comprehend wat i'm reading. I guess this was a huge project and i just got so excited that I didn't quite think it through. So for now i'll just get some AGX struts and some springs. ...

Sorry i haven't responded up until now but I've been swamped with final projects and final exams -_- :( I did look on NASIOC for struts and springs but I haven't been able to focus my attention on the suspension. I'll look at it more closely and have a more informed decision after finals are over. T...

Ok i'm having difficulty finding 04-07 STi struts and springs. I'm looking in the kyb online catalog, google and ebay and not getting any results. So I've looked and i've found AGX adjustable struts for 02-03 impreza's. Coupled with H&R springs it should look like this http://bbs.legacycentral.o...

Hey all! I've been planning to do a suspension overhaul for quite some time now. I've got even more reason to get this done soon. My dad bought my '91 N/A AWD Legacy L for me at 168,000 miles and it's got about 208,000 miles now. That's almost 50,000 miles i've put onto it and it should be replaced ...

So Adam West, you're saying that the HR sports springs with part # 29868 will lower the car 1.25" front and 1" rear? Is your car setup with kyb gr-2's or something else? Also your car looks very clean and has the aggressive stance that i've been looking for. More importantly, how does your...

haha yeah i've done that. it's quite discouraging when ur doing everything right only to find out it was something so simple, u overlook it. I don't have the alignment sheet specs cuz recently i've been checking and redoing the alignment like every week (my dad owns a shop). It was only up until abo...

Well it turns out that the clunking noise was the hub bearing wearing out. Me and my dad tried to replace it but the bearing housing got stuck in the spindle. We half assed it hoping that it would be better, but it turns out it made it worse. so the car sat in the shop for a couple days. :( We got a...

the posts say that steel arms are hollow and the control arms on my car have some holes... is that u guys are talking about? the drilled holes on the control arms? if so then no, i have steel control arms. Btw i was checking the tread on my tires and kicking the tires. I noticed that in the front, e...

I don't know for sure guys. I just remember reading (or hearing, i dunno) that Subaru made the early control arms really strong and that they would mangle the unitbody before the arms broke. Since those early ones that Carlos just put on a pretty heavy, they may be that strong. I suppsoe the only w...

Point taken but nobody's said anything about iridium vs platinum. As far as i can tell from google, iridium and platinum are similar. They both are corrosion resistant and have higher service intervals. Denso claims that iridium is better than platinum for it's tolerance to heat claiming that their ...

I'm getting ready to do a tune up on my 91' N/A legacy. It's been about 3 years since i've last changed the plugs and wires. I think i have NGK regular or iridium. Wat's the difference between NGK iridium/platinum vs laser/non laser welded plugs? Since i've got a N/A engine would it make a noticeabl...

Ok....from all these comments the DBA rotors are back to the drawing board. But i will keep with the 4-pot / 2-pot setup. Specifically all wheels get 06 WRX brake calipers just to keep things less complicated. I know i need some brackets and found some kartboy brackets but r they supposed to be $195...

Sorry Ciper for not mentioning wat pads i would be using. I'm thinking about EBC's redstuff pads. Previously they were known to be noisy and inefficient until they were warmed up. But now i hear that they aren't noisy when they warm up and cool temperatures don't affect their performance too much. T...

Hi guys I'm looking to beef up my braking system before i do any kind of performance mod/upgrades and from searching this forum i've come up with this: DBA rotors, front and rear sized to fit a 16" rim slotted rotors (the 6x6 wiper-slot) front: 294mm rear: 290mm cryo treat the rotors before put...

Joyful and pissed off at the same time... Joyful cuz i FINALLY got the correct part, installed it, and it cleared the CEL. Pissed off because it took 2 weeks to get the right part and about an hour and a half of struggling to get this bitch back together again. man when u guys said this thing was a ...

so yeah i went and tried to find the resistance of the wires and i got like 11.3 to 13 on the wire connected to the solenoid and 4.20 on the wire going to the ecu. however when i tried to find the wire that connects to the ecu i ran into a bit of a problem... which wires do i check? Since finding th...

Thanks guys for your help. i'll try this sometime tomorrow.

I'm referring to the canister purge lines, maybe vacuum lines? Well i looked at it a little closer saterday while i was at the shop. There are two lines on top of the black canister that lead/come from behind the power steering pump. The third line is on the bottom of the canister and leads/comes fr...

mmm i didn't replace the grommets...instead i cleaned the screws and the grommets out using a 6" grinding/polishing tool. not sure what it's called. as far as the screw size, i thought it was 10 mm lol. doesn't matter too much, he'll find out soon enough :P I do agree with u 93subadan that the ...

yeah it's no real problem just a bit time consuming. You may want to try replacing the valve covers when you drain the oil otherwise you may end up with a huge oil stain in your garage. Main thing you need to remember is to clear gasket groves with brake parts cleaner and use a clean rag to clean th...

Hey guys i'm having a difficult time with this canister purge problem. I tried researching how to remedy this problem but it didn't work. I've tried replacing the canister purge with a used one and then a new one to no avail. After that didn't work I went ahead and fixed the other codes. The others ...

HAHAHA yeah true, but u learn to shift quicker lol. I guess it's just a matter of opinion

You can also use an M12x1.25 die to cut new threads on the now-shorter shift rod, and then still use your stock knob.

I would but my friend got me a nice billet aluminum shift knob I personally think that the aluminum shift knob is better than the stock but that's just my opinion

Well this is wat i did. I got a whizzer tool or something like that which required the use of compressed air to power it. I twisted off the stock shift knob and cut off 1 and 1/4" off. Basically I cut off all the thread haha. Well my friend bought me a really nice shift knob from dojo before I ...

I had the crush washer on my car leak. However I don't know how old it was; could have been original Damn that's a long time to have a crush washer. I agree with ciper that ur supposed to replace them every time u go get an oil change but i find that to be impractical. I mean it's not like if u don...
