PGT Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Hi all - I spoke to my local dealership parts manager yesterday and it appears SOA is going to be producing a full STI and SPT catalog for us to drool over. Not sure of the ETA yet, but it will be a more comprehensive version of the folding brochure they had for SPT stuff. They have a standard parts listing already for the 'pink' springs (but no stock) for the Legacy's ('04 and up, as the car was introduced in other parts of the world before we got the car), but this catalog is meant for consumers. Hopefully, this means better access for all to the STI parts catalog. This should mean that overall costs come down a bit, as the aftermarket shops don't have to go to JP or AU to source parts. Also, this should also help availability if SOA commits to having distirbution available through normal channels. I don't know about the rest of you, but my local Subaru dealer has a 'small-town mentality', so I would still prefer to deal with a qualified 'tuner', but the catalog can only be good news. Has anyone else heard the same or have more details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Sweet. I might send an email to my dealership next month asking about it... But since I have purchased my Legacy, [b]I[/b] have been the one telling [b]them[/b] about new parts like the homelink mirror, etc. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 I was in the same boat. If I didn't know the parts manager so well, he would have blown me off when I called him to get the retail and invoice cost for the Homelink option - he didn't even know there was a part number. The 'sales' side was charging me $250 + installation. Funny, when you look at Subaru's site, it is a $239 accessory added at port install. Knowledge is Power. Power Corrupts.

PGT Posted October 29, 2004 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 No, a real catalog with real STI parts. I asked specifically about pink springs and they were listed in the dealer's version (cheap too, like $75/corner). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4_Maniac Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 I just got word from my inside connect at Subaru that the Eibach Springs and a exhaust plus some other goodies will be available on the first of the year through the dealerships. b4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted October 29, 2004 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 Is that a dealer selling aftermarket gear, or confirming what I was told about an STI/SPT catalog that is more comprehensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnSub Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Let's hope this info about an expanded Sti/SPT catalog of products sold via dealers part of a new Subaru Performance Group and dealer installed, SOA warrntee qualifed parts. Sounds like it could be related to what I posted in other topic about a new Perf Group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 MtnSub, I'm with you on that. Cool to know about an exhaust. I wonder how the exhaust will look. Single-tipped dual exhaust? Dual-tipped dual exhaust? Hmm.... :) -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted October 29, 2004 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 dual tip, dual exhaust currently available from STI in Japan. King of Imports or sells them now, so it would be cool if they become a std. offering through dealers. JDMPARTSTX.Com and King also has the Genome parts with single coffee cans.

Opie Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 We just got a new performance catalog here at Mastro... ...but there is nothing really "new" in it, just a new look. Some STi forester parts, pink springs for the WRX and STi, same selections of exhausts, coil overs for the Impreza...different braces for the Impreza.... that's about it...

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 I apologise if this has been answered, I haven't read this whole thread- but I'm hoping some accessories will be offered for us OBXT owners- since getting into Subaru, first with my WRX wagon and now with my XT, it seems like these categories aren't catered to as extensively as the more mainstream models.

gtguy Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Well Jedi, the Outback is about as mainstream as it gets. The majority of Legacy-chassis-based cars sold are Outbacks. Now certainly, OB owners don't usually mod their cars (another reason I should have gotten that black OBXT :D ), which might explain the dearth of goodies for y'all.
