  1. anyone heard of or tried these? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Subaru/Brakes/auction-276377214.htm
  2. a bit more of the same really :-\
  3. i had nagging brake feel problems, turned out to be the front sliders needed checking/greasing
  4. well another attempt saw them fit relatively easily, seems to help to keep the wheel on during fitment and carefully lower the car to the ground with the new component on but only the control arm nut done up so that the suspension gets slightly loaded then raised back up awesome difference, almost zero diving under brakes, or lift during acceleration, also seems to help with turn-in response, and regarding power understeer, it feels like the car is actually pulling you out of the corner now rather than into it...noticeable increase in nvh though
  5. mine were 350 from autolign in lower hutt for the "comfort" level bushings
  6. after an hour on my back under the car wrestling with the passenger side i didnt bother trying the drivers side, it probably just needs better access and some more weetbix on my part
  7. kca319a, at least thats what the packet says, but the parts look the same as the picture, so probably right
  8. yep, the alloy part is symmetrical as is the stock part, its just the bushing which seems a little thick where it butts up to the control arm
  9. apart from being a lot more chunky they look the same, it seems like the bushing is too thick but theres no way its going to squash the extra 4 or 5 mm i need to make it fit, its also pretty obviously around the right way
  10. howdy guys, i recently bought the whiteline anti-lift kit for my 1997 GF8, however it doesnt quite fit, as in the chassis mounting holes dont quite line up, and its damn near impossible to get them to without some major heaving on the axle, plus the sub-frame mounting point for the control arm isnt really letting it settle where it needs to go due to the different fitment of the whiteline kit. Has anyone else had this issue, or am i just expecting it to be too easy cheers guys
  11. if this issue comes up with 2-pot fronts, check/grease the sliders...fixed the problem in my wrx
  12. that picture makes me happy in my pants

    Td-04 value?

    i sold my old td-04L with ~120k on it for $300
  14. my setup is stock struts with king lows...still a pretty soft setup so harder suspension would greatly affect the impact of the swaybar i would imagine
  15. my personal experience with sway bars is that i put a 22mm adjustable rear bar on my wrx wagon on the hardest setting which i believe to be equivalent to 24mm (its a whiteline bar) and the handling is very very neutral, when pushed too hard into a corner it just goes sideways unless you upset it by giving it some lift-off oversteer too late in the game
  16. spiked to 18 i think, settled at 15-16 for the rest of the run...and Nick, how the hell did you fly past me on the back straight at taupo with a standard ecu, I guess ~10kW and a stripped interior does a lot ? oh and my setup is V3 wagon with V3 sti computer and vf23
  17. cant tell you what mine got to (factory gauge) but the needle never moved from halfway during a good hour of raping at taupo :-\
  18. Make : Subaru Model : WRX Name of Dyno : Dynapack/ Speedtech Date of run : 5th July 2008 ...what boost spike ;D
  19. i could probably shuffle some out the door, i have a couple of gigs of 16/9 in car + motokhana
