That's what I had read somewhere else. Its pretty much swap and drop. But this is the first car I've owned with the height adjustment in there as well( iirc). But wasn't sure if the other models have that, or if swapping from manual seats to power would be problematic.
It would be much easier if there were more of a subie group where I'm from, but I've got to ask on forums.

I was skeptical at first, whether they would fit good, and if they would look good on a gold car. But they look good and grip good.

It looks pretty good from farther away. Umm truthfully, I have no idea where it was bought. It was a gift from my wife. I'll ask her.

I think I had it done at 20% all around. But I want to redo the back a little darker, to help cut down on sun.... and the ******** riding with high beams.

Hi. I am a first time Subaru owner. 2011 5 door 2.5i. I only have my phone for internet so searching the posts is difficult. I was wondering what is a good exhaust?
Thank you

Got my BC's on today!



Compared to the swifts, the car went up. And I found out that my rear struts are blown. But that will give me reason to put together a more awesome suspension set-up.

i got some used megan's , the drop is about an inch more than my previous set-up. and the brakes are very easy to install. just have to bleed the brakes thats all.

i have not converted the rear brakes yet unless i can find a good deal on some parts but im not too concerned with that right now

Id like to see some pics of the car in its new stance. And I'm sure it rides much better.
