  1. Yep sticky struts. Soak the crap out of that lower nut with crc for like a week before you plan on doing the job, just to help loosen it up. Pull struts out Take off tophat (and spring) Remove nut on bottom of strut Slide the 2 sections apart Clean the shaft Scoop all the old crappy yellow butter looking grease out Replace with some loverly new Castrol lmx (blue stuff) grease, over the bumpstop and inside the strut housing. Expect to use about a golfball sized clump of it. Reassemble, reinstall, enjoy. One days work, if you have spring compressors and a rattle gun. But very worth it.

  4. Yep, that's also putting me off going for the lift kit. Price of the kit landed in NZ (they come with strut top spacers, and trailing arm spacers for the 2-inch kit) is still cheaper than getting a cert last time I looked. Since most of my off roading is on the beach I'll probably go down the lifted springs route at this stage. If my 20G blows I might look at going all in though with an EZ30 conversion or something and then the lift kit will be worth the cost of the cert.

  5. Plus for any kind of suspension lift I think you'd technically need a cert? Not for the lift springs but for the strut spacer blocks.

  7. I have 225/40 (I think) x16. They look no different to 205/50x16 in the wheel arch. Look just fine

  8. So is there a monthly meet around the Tron area that CS peeps do? Been a while since I bothered with the ol' monthly meet thing (probably Auckland in 2010 was my last one), but as I'm new to the area I'm keen to meet a few like minded people.

  10. Nice, I take my T/TB SF5 off roading all the time. Mostly beach bashing in the dunes around Port Waikato to get to good fishing spots and forestry road gravel bashing, but have modded it out as a bit of an overlander. People definitely underestimate the capability of Subies off road. Foztrek on Facebook has a lot of like minded Forester bashers My CS build thread Most of my pics I've taken out bashing it around in the mud are on my Instagram I'm running Maxxis Bravo 771 All Terrains, strut tower braces front and rear (the rear tends to twist a lot on the dunes to the point the boot won't open/close), Pajero snorkel, LED spot lights, and seriously looking into whether I want to fork out for a Subie Lift Oz lift kit. Lifting with King Springs etc. reduces your articulation and messes with your spring rates so you lose comfort.

  11. As shite as getting that redline to fit was, for the price I'd do it again.

  13. People tend to think these are supposed to be cheap, like a $100-200 brand new and anything above that is a rip-off
