HansGT Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 And since you are so good at this - where's the best price on the USDM Spec B tophats? I ordered and cancelled them from FastWRX.com ($131 shipped) and need to order them again now. Thanks again. Try unclemat. He may have an extra set of tophats. For me i'm getting them through the dealer cause i have subaru bucks....free to me! Check 1stsubaruparts.com. Tophats are $47 ea. Go to the powertrain forum and click on the Legacy Part Number thread. You will find the Spec B tophat part #. Or check out the Bilstein HD Review thread in the suspension forum. Some members have posted the part numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed you guys used jack stands at what appears to be the unibody jack points. did you use some kind of adapter with the jack stands or did you mangle the unibody jack points? i would like to be able to use the stock jack points but if you put a normal jack stand there you will bend the chassis.
