TPLGT Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 ^^^King of parts, brother. Free shipping. Cobb does not let vendors discount their parts. I have done a bunch of research. The Cobb set is a great deal as it comes with the reinforcement brackets. Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g2redgsr Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Ya sounds like a good deal, but sometime i can get deals like my new V2 i got for cheap, not sure if it fell off a truck or not but if its less than 695 im good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 From what i understand, the bilsteins will properly damp the car. Can't wait to see your review. I just received the sways today. I have been wrestling with adding rear, aftermarket endlinks (Cobbs or KBs). IYO, are they needed? I will not be autoXing the car and will just drive it spiritedly. I have read that some swap them out and some leave the stockers. Any take on this? Thanks in advance. Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drcaveman Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 put them on a few months ago and I will never go back, the onlyproblem I had was Cobb sent the wrong gushing for the rear after they overnighted the correct part the install went perfect. The install manual was not quite correct there where some differences between the 05 model they did the install on and my 06, but nothing major. This is the way the car should come from the factory.

mrjk77 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 i just did too. looks like $380 + 9.95 for shipping (to MA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autotech Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 just installed mine...granted i have a lift at my job and my own air tools and what not (im a honda technician). Only thing i suggest for the rear is to leave everything hand tight before you tighten 100% including the big 19mm bolts for the rear diff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjk77 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 The angles WOULD NOT line up. I finally quit cause my body was shaking so badly and I was getting cold and tired. A peanut butter sandwich, glass of milk, and I was ready to go again. i'd love to do this install myself, but my wife will probably look out the window and be like "wtf is he doing sticking his head under the car, weird guy." plus, it got cold and my hands would be numb in like 3 minutes.

JoeFromPA Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Dude, the rear sway so was sooooo frustrating. I really need to get the rear reinforcements installed though. It's worth $50 now to prevent one of those rear end mounting points from failing, though I don't think my wife drives hard enough to cause that.

Joe based on your review and reading the cobb install guide, yeah, sounds like a big 'ol PITA. i can't imagine the install will cost me very much and i've contacted a local place that should be able to do the job right w/reinforcement brackets and fast...i'm guessing less than 30 min? wooo...i'll finally have something to write here that's worthwhile. look out for my review in a week!!! jeff edit: just got a quote for $77 for 1 hr..

JoeFromPA Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Mrjk1 - I'd say a fair shop installation cost would be $100 honestly, for both front and rear. I'm not saying that's the best price....but I'd say 30 minutes for the front and maybe 30-45 minutes for the rear. This is including the time it takes to get the car up on the lift, get the right tools, support the rear diff, grease the bushings, etc. My local Subaru shop quoted me like $140-160....so I decided to do it myself. If I had to do it all over, I would've done the front myself (which I thought would be the hard part) and paid for the rear to get installed. The front was a piece of cake, aside from taking off the H-Brace and it's 14-bazillion bolts and then re-attaching the front plastic under-dam. The rear just wasn't happy for me.

Joe I ended up bringing my car to the dealer...$140 OTD. Well worth it for me. I dropped off the car, picked up the loaner and picked up my car as good as new. the sways are dynamite! They did thorough job! The feel is sooo much better. It feels more deliberate and solid. I was doing 90 in the highway today and it felt solid. Very pleased! Rehab is for quitters.
