Here is some good info on DIY alignments. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=645484&page=1&pp=25 -
There has been some outstanding deals on leather kits for foresters on Ebay lately. Right around 200$. You could probably have them professionally installed for that amount or buy some hog ring pliers and do it your self. It's time consuming but not that difficult. I'd stay away from the dealership.

So did you use legacy springs or outback?

They are available in singles as well. I wanted to make sure that the procedure for bleeding brakes using speedbleeders was the same as using the oem nipples, i.e., one at a time. I could see the benefit of spending 28$ vs. 7$ if you could open them all and bleed all the lines at once. However, that is not the case.

My first car...project

Swap in a dual range tranny before you dump a bunch a money into a lift and tires. -
The tensioner pully does not bolt directly to the block. It threads into a cast aluminum bracket that is bolted to the block. Pulling the bracket off the block will make removing the broken bolt alot easier or you can just replace with junkyard parts since you need a crank pully, timing belt covers, ect. Good Luck.

Let's see, 1. I hooked the dimmer disable up to a wire behind the passenger side kick panel. I probed around with the multimeter until I found a wire which supplied 12 vdc when the tranny was put in reverse then used a vampire tap for the connection. 2. I extended and ran power and ground across the headliner and down the a-pillar to the driver's kick. I put a fuse inline of the power wire. 3. As Nipper said, Ebay is where I got mine for 35$. It happened to be out of an '03 Outback but it is not produced by Subaru. The only benefit I can see by getting one from a Suby is that the harness might be plug and play if your putting it in a suby that originally had one. If you have to wire it up like I did then any donnley unit will work. I now wish that I would have gotten one that displayed temparature as well. http://www.cipausa.com/ is a good place for info. They have all the manuals for the various models under "customer service". Things to look for if your getting one used from Ebay: Wiring pigtail, windshield button. Good Luck.

I use the starter to break em loose and the punch/old screwdriver in the flywheel trick when it comes time to torque it back down.
