SoobyDoobyDoo Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Man those flanges ont he exhaust are no joke! Looks super solid. Makes my oem exhaust ones look like junk…lol. Even my sti muffler ones… If I were you I’d upgrade those rear sway bar brackets sooner rather than later. Those look kinda anemic with that new sway bar on there and really seeing the stockers vs upgraded ones makes you wonder how stock ones hold that rear end together… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoobyDoobyDoo Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) Glad to help! Be curious to see if that changes anything vs stock. I’ve yet to get my rsb installed but I’m also going for the stealth look so I’m planning on painting my brackets when it gets warmer.

SoobyDoobyDoo Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I think it’ll be alright you can see it some but it’s not too obvious. I bought my brackets used so the paint was scratched and peeling. It needs to be stripped and re-done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenrir1 Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) Thanks to Ethan Nakaya for the chance to buy this custom roof bar! Using beatrush bar ends with a custom carbon fiber wrapped bar (its actually pretty heavy, heavier than i expected) that replaces the oh shit handles in the front of the cabin. now both forester and legacy have matching roof bars Edited February 13, 2023 by Fenrir1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenrir1 Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) I didnt like how the bar rests directly above my head so i swapped it to the back where it should be. Good thing it is adjustable Edited March 8, 2023 by Fenrir1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenrir1 Posted February 15, 2023 Author Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) Jdm subaru trash boxes. One for the forester, one for the legacy.

SoobyDoobyDoo Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Where do the trash boxes go? I like that! Also looking at a similar rear diffuser. Don’t know that it really does anything but I like the look on the rear bumper. Looking forward to see it on the car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to see it on the car! its intended to be attached to the passenger side wall of the center console but ive seen my buddy attached his in the trunk area of his forester. so i guess it can go anywhere you want, it just attached by screws and a backplate. and yea i cant wait to get the bumpers on, well really the whole build finally done lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenrir1 Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) Im pretty sure one of my rear strut mounts broke cuz its making a clunky sound so im pretty forced to upgrade my suspension sooner than i wanted. Good ole tirerack had the last ones in stock so i grabbed the bilstein b8 performance struts along with h&r sport springs. Both german components should ride nice on the legacy hopefully. Sticking with bilstein since spec b means exactly that. Also gotta pick up oem front spec b mounts. Already scheduled in for install, cant wait cuz im so tired of the clunk. Also jdm legacy tb/sti wheels came in. Got them for a very good deal too. Like 2 of the rims have some curb rash but overall theyre in great condition.

SoobyDoobyDoo Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Be curious to hear your thoughts on the struts/springs once they’re installed and you’ve driven on them. I looked at these as a possible upgrade but since I’ve got a wagon I didn’t want to have to buy 2 sets of springs. Also curious how they pair with then b8s (stupid auto correct).
