    Yeah it's like navigation haha
  2. Legacy and Impreza rear sway bars are different. Your best bet would be to get the stuff from a newer Impreza that came with a rear sway.
  3. Haha, glad someone else has my sick sense of humor.
  4. If I had a woman that didn't approve of the car I drove, I'd ditch her!! Sounds like you have a good one!!
  5. The cheapest and best quality that I have found are paranoidfabrications.com I have dealt with them many times, and always with great results.

    Thanks for that info! Great to know. I look forward to see what you do with yours.
  7. Or you could make something. The PO of my BRAT made a nice wooden piece that attached to the front of the stock radio console, and then the the radio was mounted through that. It allowed the radio to fit without bottoming out in the dash.
  8. You need an UEL header for the Suby rumble. And then chances are some sort of custom cat back for best fitment on the Brat, and a decent muffler.
  9. You need a slant console for best results
  10. This is actually pretty common. It is the springs that cause it to sag. You could buy new springs, but they will just sag again after they break in. You could just buy saggy butt spacers to even up the suspension. http://www.paranoidfabrications.com/shop/category/subaru-impreza/saggy-butt-spacers/
  11. USPS always works great for me. Never had an issue. Looking forward to seeing the new metal welded in!

    Did it come from the factory with the LSD? I was wondering about mine. I have the same thing only green. Just in case you don't know, you have to put the newer 03-08 style rear struts in to be able to clear a bigger tire.
  13. It's possible that my suspicions are wrong. The numbers just seemed low to me, from the cars I have owned and driven. But it may very well be right where it should be!
  14. Yes but it can also be looked at as the engine isn't working as hard with the lower gears to get up to speed.
  15. Set my trip when I fuel up, and the check it when I fill up again...........And my speedometer is spot on with the tire size.
  16. I have to say that I'm the one that told 987687 that I didn't think this was good mileage. I have a 98 Forester auto, with 27.5" tires and I easily get 30, if not more at times. It's all pretty much rural driving, no highway. Another family member of mine gets 30+with his 98 Outback 5spd. It just seems low to me.
  17. No, you need to grease that pin. Just because it moves freely now, doesn't mean it always will. As I stated before, grease it as you did the lower slide pin.
  18. Yes, lube it just as you would the lower slide pin. There should be a boot that covers it just like the boot that covers the lower slide pin. It serves the same purpose.
  19. Those male axle stubs are specific to the Legacy SS rear diff and specific to each side as well. Just FYI
  20. Yes, take the calipers, brackets, pads, and rotors off the parts car. Unbolt your stuff, and bolt on the new stuff in it's place.
  21. I know that many are different widths for sure, I am just saying that at the very least 03-8 Foresters have the same track width as 04-07 STi's, I am not positive about the regular Imprezas of that year range. Yes I compared them side by side and they were EXACTLY the same, no difference at all. That's why I figured putting the newer style lateral links into my GC platform 98 Forester, would give it a slightly wider stance in the rear and kick the bottom of the tire out a bit.
  22. Lol, I guarantee my lift is no better than yours. Mine is home made and VERY simple! But sounds like there is some other good advice in here for ya! I was just throwing that out there.
  23. My 05 STi aluminum lateral links are the same exact length as the stock Forester XT lateral links I took off. Forester is the same exact platform as the Impreza.
  24. Well the STi lateral links are the same width as a Forester XT, and I'm assuming other GD models as well. So I guess I could swap lateral links with a newer model. I already have my stock Forester XT rear axles that will go right in.
