GB270 rear end rattling
Was on about this with nick and dave the other day, they reckon its just drivetrain noise his sti does it and he's had it up on ramps to find out and can't see anything that would cause it. Can't remeber for the life of me exactly what he said he thought it was but I'm sure he'll be a lon in a bit

Haha sorry mate I took on on friday before I left of the old set up, but not had chance to go in and take an after shot, took one at home last night but it's not on level ground so can't really tell the difference,

Www.subaruforesterparts.co.uk have them listed with 6kgm front and 5kgm rear. Bc will do them to what ever rate youd like but will cost more as everyone else is offering discounts. Www.scoobyparts.co.uk has a full range of spring rates to order so if you can find somone with a set willing to give you a test ride you could order yiur desired setup for discount

Or get a set of coils and wind them down as low as you can go at least that way the springs on the rear would still be adequate to cope

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Well the map would have been nice and you never know what may happen in the future. The front brakes don't feel as responsive now I've taken all the dive out of the front so they may be next :-D

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
I'd have stayed a bit longer but the misses was wondering where I'd got to as I was supposed to be going shopping on the way home :-D Good news on the discs does seem a bit stranhe to be killing them after such a short time. Should only take a couple hunderd miles to bed in though. Yeah I'm more than happy with how it looks & feels now put your foot down and it goes instead of wallowing around squatting and thinking about it :-D

Yes indeed feels like a new car. The fronts were shot and it was basically the springs doing all the work. We ended up having to re use the rubber spring seats as I didn't realise I needed any but they were all still intact and in good condition after a clean. She goes stops and turns so much better :-D I'll give it a week for it all to bed in and then get a geo alignment done.

coilover pro's & cons
Haha I'm just as confused as you now ! Although I was looking at the bc coilovers the part numbers appear to be the same between foz and impreza so who knows, all I know is the new tops I've bought fit the classic impreza as well as ours. I'll take pics of the new tops and the ones that come off tomorrow
