New to Subaru but... i get it.
I can see it on me phone today but not on tablet? Ah well should be ok that one mate, hardest thing will be getting he vac pipe through the firewall right mission. I'd order some more hose as when I teed into mine the old hose started to perish. You can gt a couple of meters for a few quid from the bay. Save the hassle of cutting he old stuff and replace it all jn one go

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

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

coilover pro's & cons
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.
