OK I'll go for this suspension as well then -) Did you get just the standard suspension or their improved version? Also do you have shocks at the rear separate from the springs or both at the same time like in Front? http://www.pedders.co.uk/subaru-forester-sf-ezifit-front-suspension-kit_p31236863.htm http://www.pedders.co.uk/subaru-forester-sf-ezifit-rear-conversion-kit_p31236862.htm

How does your suspension perform in terms of COMFORT on BAD roads? Does the car jump like on the coilovers. do you have feeling like you're sitting on the bench when driving?

I had a TOYO front mount on my Glanza V - the longest possible route and it worked just fine the installation was terrible, with some cutting/drilling/skimming, but eventually it was fitted nicely and the difference was quite noticeable. However on the rainy day there wasn't much of a difference and if you just enjoy spirited driving once a day, with ocassional boost you might as well keep your car standard. As front mount is really more like a track use or heavy spirited driving -) And not I didn't have any lag, or it wasn't noticeable much, even though the route was about 10x times longer than the standard one.

I haven't done it yet, but will be done pretty soon by my mechanic -) And here is the video I found on the youtube, lets hope someone will find it useful.

ok thank you! Well the price looks very good, also they're stiffer than standard (according to their customer service) so that's great for fast driving, but not that great for off-roading...

Thank you mate. So how is pedders? Stiffer than stock? Will it survive my off-road?

Is that the one??? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TEGIWA-BRAKE-STOPPER-FOR-SUBARU-IMPREZA-GC8-93-00-/401171359840?hash=item5d67ad2860:g:lnsAAOSwHoFXsfdB Also what was the anti-roll bar you recommended? And can you advise in regards to suspension? Have you replaced yours? or shall I look for used in good condition as I believe many people went for coilovers?

OK thank you everyone. You saved me a lot of hassle!

I think the 2.5 Litre will fit, at least the gaskets are the same -) I believe I would need the bolts as well, but so far didn't find any kits with bolts. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-SUBARU-IMPREZA-WRX-STI-FORESTER-LEGACY-EXHAUST-MANIFOLD-GASKETS-KIT-EJ20-/201474788877?hash=item2ee8d54e0d:g:MtAAAOSwwE5WWVlA 2 genuine Subaru Exhaust Manifold Gaskets suits: EJ20 engines 1992~2009 EJ25 engines 1992~2009 EJ22T, EJ20G, EJ20K, EJ205, EJ206, EJ207, EJ208, EJ255, EJ257

Yes that's exactly the one! It's next to map sensor, doing nothing -) So can I just leave it there as is? Where did you get the brake stopper? Is that cusco?

Randon ebay search gave me this link - where they sell the same manifold for both 2.5 and 2 Litre, also older models are not listed, but the up-pipe from 2005 is the same as 97... There is a cheap OEM manifold for sale, but it's 2.5 Litre, so I wonder if that would fit - that one has the place for the lambda sensor, so all I would have to do is to relocate my lambda to the manifold.

A pic would be great, as I have a white connector next to MAP sensor which is not plugged in to anything.... DOES anyone know if the 2.5 Impreza Exhaust manifold would be bolt on for the 2,0 litre? I looked from the top and bottom and don't see a sensor out there. Thank you!

My exhaust is not standard! I believe i only have 1 lambda which is on the downpipe after turbo can be accessed easily from the the top. Since I want to put the OEM up-pipe with the CAT, I will have to relocate the lambda to the ehxaust manifold BEFORE the up-pipe - at least for some time, till I'll be able to fabricate a good quality up-pipe, but that will take time and it's best to have a cat for the MOT time as well, which is very soon!

Oh and since it's a lambda where does it go under the bonnet? Can I have the picture please so at least I could check under the bonnet and try to find the cable?

I believe it's the same for the impreza/foresters, really. I doubt there is any change, most subaru are the same to be honest as I read more and more about these cars. Can you please confirm that your picture is showing the lambda in the same location as my picture above, right next to Up-pipe and there are bolts as well? Can you see this sensor from under the car or do I have to take the wheel off??? I don't think I have this lambda on my car, but I will check. If I don't have it in order to install a CAT in the pipe I will have to move the original lambda which is on the downpipe to the headers like on the picture above as it must be before the CAT. The header on my picture above - in the description it says - New genuine Subaru Impreza STI/WRX 2.5L front right hand exhaust manifold to fit vehicles 2004-2007. Part number: 14010AA131 Do you think it would fit for a classic impreza? (my forester). OR 2.5 Litre have different fitment/dimensions?

And this big hole on the left - for the Lambda I believe? Is this bit where you connect the up pipe just next to the big hole on the left?

IS it that hole on the picture? for the 1st Lambda? http://www.ebay.de/itm/Abgaskrummer-Subaru-Legacy-Forester-Outback-2-5-EJ25-156-211-PS-40522-/221797034355?hash=item33a4222973:g:bCEAAOSwbYZXZ0ZA

Right, I thought so, that means for this cat to work I need to figure out how to move my downpipe lambda before the cat -((((((( cause I have no lambda on the exhaust manifold full stop, or I probably should look for the another bit BEFORE the up-pipe which has a lambda....

HI, I just want to know about the lambda sensors, I know that each car must have a lambda BEFORE the CAT and then optionally after the CAT. But here I found that the owner says that he only has 1 lambda and it's after the CAT, is that possible? Or is there are separate lambda somewhere on the exhaust manifold? Here is the picture of the up-pipe, at first I thought that it's the lambda in the picture but the owner said that it's the heating element and the only lambda is located in the downpipe. Here is the question - how come we have a lambda AFTER the cat? if there is no other lambda before the CAT - according to many sources each car must have a lambda before the CAT. Can someone advise please and explain how it's done in your Subaru? Thank you. Paul

Doing a research for the Number 2 it turned out to be related to EGR (which I do have indeed), it's a solenoid valve Therefore I have a question - how to clean EGR if possible at all?

The up pipe is a part of the exhaust manifold, meaning that it gets very hot, especially being next to Turbo. I personally would fabricate one from Zisco, they're new to Subaru, but well known in Toyota world and do fantastic job when it comes to exhaust, manifolds and so on. My up pipe has issues as well, I want to put the OEM one for now and in the meanwhile fabricate something special from Zisco.

Did u get a chance to have a look mate? Thx. Paul

Oh fantastic! Thank you very much!

HI everyone. I recently found that I'm missing 1 bolt on my down pipe. Where Can I buy 1 of these or a couple as a kit? I suppose these are the special ones since I din't see any flexy? See the pics - right at the bottom of the pipe you can see the spring -
