If anyone here could do me a favor, it would be much appreciated. I'm trying to figure out what cars the 2012+ Impreza's share their suspension with mainly, and nobody seems to know, there is just a lot of conflicting information out there.
If anyone could take their stock OEM 2.5i springs and get pictures of them next to a ruler, and measurements of length and coil diameter, it would be very much appreciated, I've looked all over and can't find anything. Thanks! |

Mainly I'm trying to figure out the coil thickness and length of the standard 2.5i Impreza to see if it's the same as the 2012+ Impreza, since nobody seems to know the springrate for that car. It seems the 09 WRX has the same length springs and of the same coil diameter, but I don't know if the rate is the same or not.

Big oil leak from behind the timing belt cover, I hope it is main cam seal and not the head gasket. Got laid off last week and this is not a good time for that :\

How many miles are you at? It's most likely head gasket. I did mine at 65k miles... These NA motors are notorious for head gasket failure. If it is, be sure to get it sanded and use a turbo gasket. Lots of information online about this. |

I am at 64k miles. Do you have any suggestions on which gasket to get? I looked around and I see some say that the replacement OEM part has been redesigned.

Still wouldn't trust the NA gasket. Both the dealership and local Subaru performance shop said go with a turbo gasket.

The generation(s) notorious for HG failure were those prior to the 08+. Not to say it can't happen, but to say our NA's are prone to it would no longer apply.

Well, I took my car to the dealership and looks like it's not the HGs. The oil pump is leaking oil. They quoted $950 to replace that and to replace the timing belt and water pump along with it.

I paid $800 flat for head gasket (both sides), water pump and timing belt from a Subaru only performance shops. It pays to have friends in the business!

The car drives fine now although I will keep an eye out for any persisting problems with oil leaks. |

Non existent or you just don't know. Do you think that the 2009 access port would work I don't know if there's any engine differences

ilwaukee, what are your wheel specs? Found a 18x9, 20et with 215 width tires but worried it will be quite aggressive. Thoughts compared to your setup?
