Let me clean it first

Grabbed a 22mm rear Whiteline swaybar kit as well.

Pics with spacers on

Swaybar in. What a difference that makes! Even on the softest setting...

[Gen5is]

Looks great with the spacers! I reckon lowering springs will finish it off nicely.

[Bennoz]

As requested, lowering springs

STi pinks give it a nice subtle height Off for a wheel alignment this morning.

Couple better shots after a clean

Looks like I've cooked the clutch ( at 41,000kms )

So throw some recommendations at me. Looking for something with more bite than stock, but not heavy on the foot. Do Excedy make a sports organic for Gen Vs?

[satogixxer]

HKS LA clutch - been happy with mine, feels close to stock and can handle the drags (using launch control) well enough! (so definitely stronger/more bite, if that's what you're looking for)

EDIT: PM me if you're interested in buying anything second hand. I still have my stock clutch, and am selling my HKS LA single plate as well (going twin plate).

Cheers for the offer! Haven't done clutch yet, that's happening next week.

Few other goodies gone on though.

24mm front Whiteline swaybar - c**t of a job to do!



New Dba T3 rotors & DS2500 pads from Race Brakes Australia. Part numbers for anyone that's interested:
Rotors: DBA 42650S-10
Pads: FCP1639H



Lastly, new shoes. Bridgestone RE003s.

Nice mods! Mind me asking what your method was in installing the front sway bars?

Apart from a sh*t ton of cursing the f**ken thing?

Dropped the lower engine cover off, I then popped both tie rod ends out, then it's just a matter of twisting it around till you find the spot where it looks closest to going through on the other side, then when firmly wedged in that spot, I pulled out a big pry bar I had & levered/pulled it through. I suggest going through from the passenger side, so you can go over the dump pipe, rather than trying to feed it over the dump pipe from the other side. It wasn't easy.

[Gen5is]

Haha wow. Putting in the new bar was just a painful?

How do you find the RE003s on your Lib mate?

[Bennoz]

Great tyre. Go about their business with a minimum of fuss. Quiet, sticky, they even took a pounding down out on the track at Wakefield.

Same can't be said about the factory brake pads! These had 80% meat on them before 35 laps did this..

[jslayz]

Hahah, not what Subaru had in mind for those stock pads !!
35 laps would have been a fun session!
