Triple Digits

Recommended Posts

For those of you in the Northeast, if you want a dealer that will do just about any mod you want and not void the warranty, contact Exeter Subaru in NH, www.exetersubaru.com. Dave the owner is awesome. They also have an aftermarket web site, www.subaruwrxparts.com. They don't have much for the Leg yet, but check out the WRX stuff they have. I'll be getting my LegGT in May and I've already talked w/ Dave about the mods I want to do. He likes to see what people can do w/ their Subies.

Honestly, the only part of the suspension that may not get covered with a sping install is if the shock gets blown out. Other than that, you should be fine on all other components. Just install them yourself and save the money. :)
OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America!

That's a good idea :rolleyes: then you are attempting to defraud your dealer instead of just being accountable for your actions.

 

In my experience honesty will get you a lot further than deception.

 

My .02

With all due respect being that I'm a noob to this community (I got my LGT 3 days ago) but do you like paying thousands of dollars for repairs where it could've been easily avoided by just taking the aftermarket part off? I sure dont and honestly I'd do anything to get one over on any car dealership. They get one over on every single car they sell to someone.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO RETAIN PROOF OF PURCHASE AND MAINTENANCE

It is your responsibility to retain documents which show the date of purchase of the performance part and to present those documents upon request at the time a warranty claim is made. Failure to present proof of purchase documents upon request may result in denial of your warranty claim. If applicable, it is also your responsibility to retain proof that all inspection and maintenance services are performed when recommended

This warranty does not cover any performance part which malfunctions, fails or is damaged due to: (1) objects striking the car or any road hazards, whether on or off the road; (2) collision, accident, abuse, neglect, misuse, or any other causes beyond the control of SOA; (3) the failure either to perform any normal maintenance on or follow any operating instructions for the performance part; (4) the failure to follow the operating instructions for the car set forth in the Owner?s Manual or failure to follow the Schedule of Recommended Inspection and Maintenance for the car set forth in the Warranty and Maintenance Booklet; (5) improper installation, adjustment or repair of the car or improper adjustment, repair or installation of the performance part; (6) alterations made by changing, adding to or removing any items from the car or from the performance part; (7) installation in or attachment to the car of accessories or equipment not approved or recommended by SOA; (8) commercial use of the car, unless this exclusion is expressly waived in writing by SOA; (9) use of the car in any race or competitive event; (10) airborne fallout (including, but not limited to, chemicals, tree sap, bird droppings), salt, hail, windstorm, flooding, water, lightning, extreme temperatures, or any other environmental cause; (11) failure to follow recommendations on fuel use contained in the Owner?s Manual; (12) the vehicle being dismantled or changed in such a manner that constitutes a material alteration of its original construction; (13) damage to a covered part directly caused by the failure of a non-covered part or event; and (14) damage caused by adding or applying chemicals other than those approved or recommended by SOA.

 

WARNING CONCERNING NON-GENUINE SUBARU PERFORMANCE PARTS

 

 

Genuine SUBARU Performance Parts are new or remanufactured items which have been approved, recommended, and supplied by SOA. Some dealers sell Genuine SUBARU Performance Parts, as well as other parts and accessories. This warranty applies only to select Genuine SUBARU Performance Parts. It does not apply to any other parts or accessories.

 

GENERAL

SOA, through an Authorized SUBARU Dealer, will repair or replace under this warranty covered Genuine SUBARU Performance Parts that malfunction or fail during the warranty period as a result of a manufacturing defect. However, SOA has no control over damage which occurs to the performance part caused by such things as objects striking the car, collision, misuse, improper installation or lack of maintenance. Therefore, damage to a part for any reason which occurs as a result of the way the car is operated or treated is not covered under this warranty.

 

SOA, its Distributors, and Authorized SUBARU Dealers reserve the right to make changes in parts and accessories sold by them at any time without incurring any obligation to make the same or similar changes in parts and accessories previously sold by them.

 

THIS WARRANTY IS THE ONLY EXPRESS WARRANTY BY SOA ON SELECT GENUINE SUBARU PERFORMANCE PARTS. SOA, its Distributors, and Authorized SUBARU Dealers do not authorize any person to assume for any of them any obligations or liabilities greater than or different from those set forth in this warranty.

 

This warranty gives the owner specific rights, and the owner may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

 

ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE APPLICABLE TO THE PERFORMANCE PART IS LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE PERIOD OF THIS WARRANTY. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts; therefore, the above limitation may not apply.

 

SOA, ITS DISTRIBUTORS, AND AUTHORIZED SUBARU DEALERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF USE OF THE CAR, FOR ANY ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION, LODGING, FOOD OR TELEPHONE EXPENSES, FOR ANY DAMAGE TO GOODS, COMMERCIAL LOSS, LOSS OF TIME OR INCONVENIENCE, OR FOR ANY OTHER INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages; therefore the above limitation or exclusion may not apply.

 

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE

 

This Subaru performance part has been designed and is intended for off highway application only. Installation of this part on a vehicle intended for use on public roads may violate state or federal laws and regulations including those relating to emissions requirements and motor vehicle safety standards. Federal and many state laws prohibit the removal, modification or rendering inoperative of any part or vehicle system affecting emissions or safety. Violations may result in a fine of up to $10,000 per vehicle. In addition, installation of this part may adversely affect the warranty coverage on your vehicle.

Does Subaru of America MAKE a performance part? Their "performance" parts for the Legacy are a joke. Now in the foreign market Subaru makes performance parts but not in America.
