Which online vendors sell those? I'm curious to see the specs. . .

Dunno, I PM'd Crucial for prices on both. You might Check rally sport direct.

Argh, no 04+ specific application.

Dude, the washer mod has been flawless so far for me. Don't be scurred.

The NASIOC thread about the washer mod (that I linked to last year while researching spring options) totally scurred me away from the washer mod. I dunno. . .

Then again, I may not even have the car long enough for it to matter. . . I'll have to reconsider

Do we know what diameter spring the perches will allow?

Of course, if I decide to do the washer mod, then I could always just pick up the AGXs that I've been wanting for some time. . .

Stock fitment springs should all fit (same as KYB AGX).

Jeremy got back from vacation and answered my PM where I asked if he knew of anything besides Ohlins and Koni in the way of struts for our cars.

Quote:

No, I'm really just familiar w/ Koni and Tokico as being the high performance replacements. Bilstein makes struts but I don't think they do an adjustable one for the Subaru... not sure though and it might be worth checking. I don't have an acct though.

Not 100% sure on Tokico pricing because it might change a touch now w/ the Hitachi deal. It would be under $500 shipped though for sure and possibly as low as $440...

Jeremy

Apparently Hitachi bought Tokico recently and for some reason that means he can't get them until August.

I still need to research them more, but the consensus on NASIOC seems to be Koni>Tokico D-Spec>KYB AGX. Jeremy can do Koni's for $575 shipped.
