Engineering Head on........Looking at how they mount via the outer/hub fixing isn't there a possibility they could rotate via pressure on the ARB and soften the effect of both the drop link and the ARB.

Think the "hollowed" out design on the back locks them in place Scott...?

Yeh, I was looking at the other picture and wondering if the box section would do that.
Still a slight chance they would end up knocking due to a little flex/movement though.

thepieman 01-12-2015 09:54 PM

Nice upgrade for Benji for keeping with the oe theme but maybe worth some investigation for you Scott (and maybe anyone else thinking about them)

Pink Sti end links

Scott.T 01-12-2015 10:02 PM

Cheers Ron that makes total sense.
I'm running a 24mm ARB so may make mincemeat of the STi link box section.

If you need pictures of how it should sit i could post a few as im running 24mm rear arb too but i have the fully adjust rear kit which comes with the box and droplink .

scooby doo 01-12-2015 11:52 PM

I'm running a 22mm brace from parts cataluoge and full sti link set with the box already and drop links I just wanted to refresh it all and I've got no issues with current ones , but like you say Scott your on a 24mm so solid drop links etc are best for you..

scooby doo 10-12-2015 01:19 PM

Spy well Scott , got parts stacking right up just no car lol should be back next week :)

scooby doo 17-12-2015 09:40 AM

Well no pics.
Picked the car back up from the importer's and my issue is still there, Slight Whine and vibration from the tranny area, had the rear diff rebuilt as was slightly noisy with this sorted the other noise was more noticeable,
The importer where good and said it could be returned for further work but as this is to far away to keep taking back etc I've decided to use my local subaru specialist who i cant praise enough hes had a butcher and believes center diff bearings are worn, So the box is needing to be removed and rebuilt so I've given the Green light to go ahead and do full box rebuild so i know its totally good, and the importer is backing me with parts so i really starting to see a positive with it all.
Had a nice comment from the Specialist telling me how clean this car is and a lovely Example, :)
I should have the car back today with all my new suspension bits fitted with 4 wheel Geo and rebooked for 1st week of jan for my box,

Rdlangy1 17-12-2015 12:34 PM

Scott.T 04-01-2016 05:36 PM

Looking good Benji, especially the Pink bits ;)
Did Vince sort the geo when the STi Springs and links went on ?

scooby doo 04-01-2016 06:46 PM

I had pjm painters sort the mirrors with low mix black colour , looks perfect
Scott, he did indeed sort the geo once he had fitted them

thepieman 05-01-2016 10:51 AM

the way your approaching this car:10: residual value will only go one way and you'll have no problem when and if the time comes to sell on..........

scooby doo 05-01-2016 11:36 AM

Cheers Ron . Not that I'd sell it atm unless a low mileage hatch came along in my bracket and I'd want a lot for this car as I know it will be super hard to replace for same car

Thank you , :oops:

munk 06-01-2016 06:23 AM

this is coming along really nicely... think you need to remove the import plate holder from under the uk spec plate... thats my ocd kicking in...:-D

scooby doo 06-01-2016 09:46 AM

i dont think it simply unbolts

thepieman 06-01-2016 10:21 AM

Either run it on an import sized plate or put an oversized UK plate on.....

Thats what I done, wanted to keep the original hangers on the back and didn't like the exposed look of them, so used them....

scooby doo 06-01-2016 10:34 AM
