I agree. After putting in a Pioneer HU the stock premium speakers can actually pack a punch.

Another thing is that the lube would tend to stay in there longer if the swaybar stays in one spot as opposed to sliding back and forth even an inch. I'm wondering, does the stock setup not have those "keepers"? Does the stock swaybars move back and forth? Maybe that is the extra clunks happening once in a while? Maybe they should be left off so the bars can move back and forth? All questions I never really thought of before now.. Hmmm... Last edited by BWX; 07-30-2014 at 02:08 PM. |

So I know the auto impreza has 'Active' AWD so it's front wheel drive normally and switches to all 4 on demand, whereas the manual is continuous AWD. If I turn off TC on my Active AWD auto does that make it continuous AWD? I don't think it does but just wanted to know for sure.

Some quick pictures of the KYB/King Springs combo. Tires are currently 215/50/17 but I'm trying to get a set of 16's with 215/60/16.

How much lift is that?
I could probably get at least an inch with my current set-up. I wonder if I should lift it for the lulz. |

~1.5". My wheels now give it just under .5" more than stock. When I go to 16's with bigger tires, it'll give me another .75".

I got a White Line bar recently. They switched to a new type of bushing. It is a grease-less bushing. It has small hairs on the inside to to help with the movement of the bar. Also it doesn't come with locks. Although the bar helped with sway a lot I feel as if the locks would restrict a lot of the movement I still get.

Oh yeah that makes sense that the collars would help take stress and strain off the endlinks. I think stock is rubber (softer) and maybe doesn't need lube- the rubber just squishes around and moves with the bar, possibly? Not sure. I just was looking at my urethane bushings (FRONT) as I am going to get them installed on Fri with my NYS inspection.. They have little scalloped squares running down the center where the grease would sit. I guess I forgot about that or didn't notice that while installing rears. |

Manual is "passive" and Auto is "Active". VDC also uses brakes via 4 channel controller which I think can effect the diff as well, used as sort of a locker, via brakes on one side or the other. I think some of the algorithms are actually proprietary (a secret). Anyways.. Hera ya go... http://www.cars101.com/subaru/impreza/impreza2008.html Manual Transmission: 5 speed (MT5) AWD system: 'Continuous' all wheel drive with mechanically controlled with viscous locking center differential. 50/50 front back power split. Automatic transmission: Electronic direct control (4eat) Sportshift 4 speed with manual mode AWD system: 'Active' all wheel drive is electronically controlled, front axle biased for normal dry road driving, and instantly transfers power to rear axle on demand All Wheel Drive see various types listed above new for Impreza VDC (vehicle dyanmics control) is Subaru's electronic stability control system that monitors wheel spin, brakes, steering angle, and yaw. If the vehciles intended path is not where the vehcile is going, VDC applies brakes and/or reduces engine power to help control vehicle. Includes TCS. new for Impreza TCS (traction control system) is combined with VDC. Subaru's all speed, all wheel traction control system senses wheel spin and applies brakes to help minimize it.

I was on cars101 checking the curb weight and found the AWD section so that's why I asked lol. So auto is "continuous" AWD just more of the power is distributed to the front axle during normal driving conditions. Then, when needed, it will go 50:50 or another ratio depending on the circumstances? It confused me when it said "Instantly delivers power to the rear axle on demand" sounded like it's FWD normally and sends power to the rear in snow or something. Missed the front axle 'biased' for some reason lol. Thanks for the clarification guys. |

But you see that if you read what they (Subaru) say exactly, it could be 100/0 front, then 100/0 rear.. but We kind of know it is not that extreme, but who knows how far it really changes to the front or rear. I doubt it goes more than 50/50 to rear though. I have a suspicion it might go more than 60/40 front when driving down road on dry pavement, but really , we're all just guessing, unless someone else has some concrete data. Maybe they do? |

That's really odd that no one truly knows the power split for the Active AWD.. Oh well guess I'll just slap a DCCD on my car so I know and can control it, also might as well manual swap it while I'm at it. With all the money I don't have.. |

So what happens when you do a tranny swap? Since they have 2 different AWD systems. Change the c-diff too? |

On a side note... Taking my car into the stealership Saturday morning to get my Brake lines checked out for the recall.
My brakes have actually been terrible lately and I was assuming this is the reason, since my car sat outside about 3 years of its life and my brake pads are fine. Sent from my iPhone using NASIOC |

That's why I don't do handbrake turns, ever. Not even once.

I really wanted to go the KYB/King Springs route, but it was just not in the budget. Post up some more photos if you go on any off-road adventures, that way I can live vicariously through you! |
