oh come on. My friend/coworker drives a 430whp 460wtq 06 wrx and so far (a year or so) his 5-speed is holding up fine. I can think of at least two other people I know personally running 400+whp through a 5-speed without trouble, one for over 40k miles. Yeah, they'll break, but generally only when you're doing something stupid.

it's not like subaru has their own foundry and makes the rotors themselves anyway. They're probably made by centric or something. Subaru also has a Canadian/American line of parts, so there can be two part numbers for the same thing, where one is from Subaru of Japan and the other is from SOC. Plus rotors are basically a flat piece of iron. As long as they're straight when they come out of the box it doesn't matter much.

yeah, there are these two things I like to call the green brackets of death. They sit right above the fuel rails and don't really do all that much. Generally after I take them off they don't get put back on the car. There are also just a few random tapped holes that aren't used for anything I think.

Lift question : What years and models share the early legacy platform?
jamal replied to backwoodsboy's topic in Off Road
Ha, I was a little confused there... Anyhow, the subframe mounting is the same on all 1st and 2nd gen cars, so it should work on all 90-99 Legacys, all 93-01 Imprezas, all Foresters, and 95-99 Outbacks. Manuals and automatics have different transmission mounting so that would probably be an issue if you wanted to space that out. You'd probably also want to make new pitch stops depending on the amount of lift. What does change is the rear strut top bolt pattern. 1st and 2nd gen differ. So plates that space the struts tops downward would have to be different for a 2nd gen car. -
Lift question : What years and models share the early legacy platform?
jamal replied to backwoodsboy's topic in Off Road
93-01 Impreza and 90-94 Legacy are the 1st generation of the cars, and the platform is nearly the same except for the length. The Legacy is about 4" longer from what I've heard. The 98-02 Forester is also based on the 1st gen impreza chassis. The 02-07 Impreza and 95-99 Legacy (2nd gen) are also very similar, once again except for length. 2nd gen foresters once again are based off this impreza chassis. The 3rd gen Legacy 00-04 is kind of an odd-ball and doesn't share much with other cars. The new 08 Imprezas and 05+ Legacys are also nearly the same chassis. Anyway, the lift points are the pinch seams below the doors, and if the lift can adjust 6 or so inches in length it will work on all subarus.
