Welp, got tires mounted today. My camera died after taking pictures of the way the rears are mounted, so ill get pics of the font struts tomorrow. Front top hats were cut into triangles to fit in the tower. Ill toss up some pics of the rear setup. Also ran every airline and hooked up all my switches and gauges. Just gotta wire up the compressor tomorrow and she should be done. We'll see what happens![URL="http://bagriders.com/modlab/"][COLOR="MediumTurquoise"][B]BagRiders[/B][/COLOR][/URL]

Well. Kinda ran into a problem. Front fitment is on point, basically like 1mm of clearance when aired out, BUT, the wheel rubs the strut. So I'm assuming it needs like a 3mm spacer to clear. Maybe a little more. So, after the spacer, I'm pretty sure the fenders won't go over the tires when airing out.
So I'm just gonna pull the fronts a little.
Hmm. Also camera battery has been dead so no pics. But the car is together. Ill snag some pics when I go home to work on it next week.Last edited by NickL; 02-26-2013, 05:57 PM.[URL="http://bagriders.com/modlab/"][COLOR="MediumTurquoise"][B]BagRiders[/B][/COLOR][/URL]

Yeah I thought I remembered him running them. I just don't have the cash for them. I would rather run them to add some more front camber anyways since I don't have much, but the funds just aren't there. Just gonna magazine pull the fronts until they clear.
The main problem I had when I rolled the fronts was the roller would not fit on the hub with the strut bolted into the upper mount, so I had to drop the whole knuckle onto a jack and roll them. Without the strut bolted up, I couldn't get any leverage. Finally I got them rolled flat, but there would be no way to pull them with a roller I wouldn't be able to get enough leverage. So magazine pull it is.[URL="http://bagriders.com/modlab/"][COLOR="MediumTurquoise"][B]BagRiders[/B][/COLOR][/URL]

Magazine pulls have worked well for me in the past. And with air it's even easier because you can go up and down and pull as softly or as hard as you need to.
Still miss your Forestor and WRX, but really loving this thing!Originally posted by electricalbox12 inches of goodness!

Nice Nick, I'm glad to see this coming along! Sucks about the front fitment but you'll get it dialed!
