And then some muppets tell me they'd rather get a brand new Subtech for the price of my (now sold) HKS pipe

People here have used @mlracing.co.nz and had good experiences!
Which is a container and is a few months wait.
I had an unpleasant experience with 41 Automotive which are/were a CS sponsor. Nor they ended up being much cheaper than going through buyee of the likes anyway. Priced up a few things through MLR too (including a Bilstein B12 kit). Was still cheaper and certainly much quicker to import myself directly.

Japan has export law that forbid freighting compressed air components
I'm pretty sure you can still do sea freight if you're prepared to wait for a couple of months and find a retailer willing to assist.
From what I remember B8 are designed to be used with lowering springs and B6 for stock.
Also keep in mind that that different revisions of BL/BP were equipped with different revisions of Bilsteins hence you'll see different part numbers. Earlier revisions were the stiffest ones.
-
Get some Bilstein B6/B8 and you'll be all good.
Check local prices but most likely you'll be far better off importing from the EU (based on my experience anyway).

the other side which is media controls etc is not used now as I installed an aftermarket double din unit
Yeah, +1 for a SWC thingy. Had one in mine and was only around $60 shipped from Amazon.

Surely partsouq or amayama or oposedforces will have them shown somewhere.

Not after a hardcore racecar life seat.
Thought fixed-backs would fall under this category

Mine were from them - good quality/fitment /price, no complaints at all.

Recaro.
Try locating some GRB Recaros, make sure you test-sit in them first as they seem to be designed for an average size Japanese person i.e pretty tight

Give it a go and report back. The easiest way to find out

Yeah true. But the fact they list the same spring rates for 3rd/4th gens says that you could probably get away with running either in either.
You get away with the same rated springs in adjustables because you can control the height, do not see the same happening with the fixed perch struts.

Those are adjustable suspension springs aren't they? A bit different the way I see it.
If you look a part list for STI pinks they have a whole bunch of different part numbers: sedan/wagon, 3.0/GT, 5AT/6MT etc.
-
They will. Hard to say what it's gonna look like as spring ratings will be different between the two. Might end up with a saggy bottom or the opposite.

Had the same with my BR9, a full set of coils from Partsouq fixed the issue. Weren't particularly cheap though..

These are wheels I've been considering for a while now that you might be interested in:
You want more width and/or less offset for the 5th gen. 18x7.5 +55 offset won't look good at all.

Anyone run 19" wheels on a 4th gen? Looking at some tsw spa's that look bloody nice in 19" localish to me and thinking of grabbing them
Have seen a few over the ditch. Keep in mind that:
1. you'll have to run a lower profile == harsher ride
2. more expensive tyres

Replaced cabin filters.
Two inch-thick charcoal filters in series. Still remember what their look like in Subarus and how much they charge for them 😂

1: learn Japanese.
Or you can buy my set of manuals in English
and try to remember what does what...
Will be a bit of downgrade to go to a standard unit, plus afaik you'd have to replace a few other components, not just the head.
Another potential option: find a NZ new McIntosh at wreckers and swap them over. In this case you'll also have NZ maps, fairly outdated though unless you want to splash out on a $$$ navi CD.
-
How about you post a photo of your own set-up?
Is that a gloss black McIntosh? If so there is no way to change the language without replacing the whole unit with a NZ/AU new one.
Not sure what manual you have/referring to but my NZ new BR9 came with a couple of manuals, one was specifically for a McIntosh system.

You'd be surprised...
Those are actually genuine STI Recaro seats, were offered as an option.

Sexy.
Know nothing about these but find it rather sexy too.
May be it's the colour for me rather than a technical side of things... 😂 Was following a huge Jag sedan yesterday in a similar frosted gun metal, looked rather sexy too.

Only thing I'll add is that on mine there were screws in the bottom corners by the wheels
Yep pretty sure mine had them too then, thought I was confusing myself with the rear bumper removal, a few hidden ones there from what I remember.
