Interesting. Can anybody confirm the size on the front swaybar? Most references state 24mm but I have seen mention of 23. Also, maybe totally unrelated bit the oem front D bushings for the swaybar have a 23 on them. I would have measured but do not have a micrometer.


Edit: I just ordered one from Amazon. I'll measure and post back when I get it.

Can someone tell me if the AccessPort logs Enhanced OBDII PIDs or is it just the generic PIDs that all vehicles use? And if they don't can someone recommend a device that does? Thanks.

So on my 2005 STI there is a headlight leveler adjustment where I can control how high or low it goes. My buddy just bought a 2020 STI, is this still controllable? He doesn't have that rolling switch next to the gauge light dimmer.

There's an automatic headlight leveler.

It's connected to the rear left lower control arm.

It does not, high end readers will show you on some vehicles. I used a mactools/snapon and Marco readers on a bunch of cars. Subaru doesn't charge/make vehicles expensive enough to canbus and go that much into detail(yet). You'll get a generic code and go from there. For the most part it's going to be the usual suspects of whatever is going on.

You could use an open ended wrench.

Good day, is there a repair/service kit for the Garrett MGT2259s turbo?
If yes, where can I get one?

This is the first time I have used this forum. I have a 2015 Wrx with a K&N typhoon air intake and Nameless muffler deletes. The car came with an SPT/Sti exhaust. I am looking to tune the car to Stage 2 from COBB. Would I need a J-pipe or would the car be fine without the J-pipe?

I am crossposting this here, because I have a post in the Brakes, Steering & Suspension section and it's been open a couple of days with at this point 115 views and no replies, since this is a 2015 wrx post I am hoping someone might know this, and it isn't against the rules.

I noticed the 5x114.3 bolt pattern on the 2015 wrx (non STI) stock, and I was looking to find out the following:

I have a 2014 wrx wagon and I was looking at the better wheel options for the 5x114.3 bolt pattern as well as having a lot of better brake upgrade options. To this end I had done some searching and googled around I found the following:

1. Rear STI bearings with the 5x114.3 pattern will press into the rear of my 2014 wrx. Simple, reasonably cheap, OEM, and easy.

2. The front is more complex, where either I use an STI knuckle and change to STi front suspension dampers and springs, and STi axles. A lot more work in there and expensive.

OR

pretty expensive LIC knuckle, if I can get someone to go in with me on a buy, because from I understand you have to get a minimum of 4.

What I have been looking for and not seen/found is any discussion on the 2015 wrx front knuckle and swapping that to a 2008-2014 wrx. The 2015 has the 5x114.3 bolt pattern already on it, from what I can tell it's different then the STI knuckle, they're not the same. From the pictures I have looked at of parts it looks like the 2014 and 2015 are similar and look like they would line up where they attach to the car, but I have not seen the parts up close has anyone tried to put that 2015 knuckle on a 2014? Are reasons not to?

It seems like if this was a fit it would open up a pretty cheap way to get 5x114.3 wheel options and easy STI brake options on a low budget.

According to original post STI 60-0 is 2 feet longer than the WRX?? What is the point of brembos then? Does that mean I can install track pads on a WRX and rig up some cooling similar to what STI has, and it will be just as good as the brembos? I suspect the brembos are much better at really high speeds, like going from 250km/h down to 70 in a matter of seconds.

The stock WRX calipers heat soak very quickly (at trackdays) causing brake fade.

So cold the brakes will preform similarly. But at track temperatures a BBK will take longer to fade.

The deceleration speed is as function of brake pad material (tires, and temps).

You mean the fluid overheats cuz calipers can't dissipate the heat? If so, wouldnt it have to start boiling to have an effect? I just dont understand how calipers can overheat. Theyre just pieces of iron
