    I haven't yet, but when I do I'll probably keep them a secret, don't want everyone and their GC8 running perfect fitment

    Car looks good man.
    I'm going to attempt to pull them tonight a bit more with a guard roller, there is millimeters in it so I think using a book would be over kill.

    Thanks!

    That's what I've been told to do, just a little worried about doing so, don't want any paint cracking or massive pull, wanted to keep the body looking OEM as possible...

    I know it is a hipstergram picture, but after tonights antics it is all I could get.

    I adjusted the camber in the rear another degree, to the negative that is.
    It's so close to slipping over the tyre it isn't funny. If only I didn't have to run 8mm spacers at the rear to clear the inner strut.



    The problem at the rear is still getting on my nerves. It isn't perfect yet.
    My problem is that I have to run 8mm spacers to clear the lower mount locking thingy, the edge of the barrel basically is bang on in line with it. 5mm more in dimension and my wheel would be fine with only a 5mm spacer.

    From what I'm aware of, the lower mount thing stays in the same position no matter where I set the travel. If this isn't the case, then I'd be better off lowering the amount of travel (making the drop height even lower) and therefore it would clear the barrel.

    If anyone has any knowledge on this matter it'd be greatly appreciated!

    Goodies for the Subaru are on their way!

    12.5mm spacers for the front.
    8mm spacers for the rear.
    Clear indicators for the sides of the vehicle.

    Hopefully I'll sort out getting the front notched some time in the very near future.

    No problem man! Mines still not sitting exactly how I want it, but things come to those who wait.

    Cheers!

    Hopefully will have an update in the coming days, I've ordered some spacers for the fronts, need to relocate the wiring under the front guards and need to remove the rear struts and sort out the camber on both sides. Might do it all tonight, we'll see what I can be bothered doing.
