So I finally brought my car into a mechanic friend and got it on the lift to check out my clunky swaybar issues. 3/4 bushings are loose and need replacing, my 2 front endlinks are completely **** and one of my wheel studs broke off because the place that put on my tires tightened the lug nut way to ****ing much.
Anyone know a good place to get these for cheap? (Keep in mind they are larger Rallitek swaybars). And I finally saw my frame and the scraping it took the last 2 years haha. Sent from my iPhone using NASIOC

How do you got about replacing the studs? I want to get some 10 or 15mm ISC or Grapple wheel spacers but am hesitant to spend over $150 on good spacers and have my studs give out. Are they expensive? |

I'll be buying new wheels and summer tires for next season.
What winter tires are you getting? The weather here was 85° yesterday and a high of 55° today. Not trying to ride them in warm weather but it is basically October already. |

All it takes is some strength and a good sledge to hit them out. Spray them with PB or wd40. Let them sit then hit them out. They are just a press fitting. If you get some extended studs, they will probably screw in first. Anti size them and good to go!

An old convertible RX-7? Wow that's an odd choice.

The subaru: Is that a modified stock grille or is that a WRX/sport grille? It looks good! Sent from my iPhone using NASIOC |

Get the wheel studs from your dealership (they're fairly cheap). As others have said, they are pressed in so just knock it out with a hammer. Use the washer method to pull the new wheelstud all the way flush with the hub. +1 for rallysportdirect. Holy mother of scrape. I would spray some undercoating overthat before winter starts hah |

Just to clarify, I've forgot if they do or not, 2009 WRX coilovers will fit a 2010 impreza correct? Thinking of getting some BC racing coils beginning of next year.

Hatch or sedan? This is what my hatch looks like with V2 rally armor flaps on. Just don't hit a curb when backing your car in. I learned the hard way, ripped one flap off. [IMG] |
