  1. Wow! I could not find anything like that when I was looking. I only checked a few sites such as RockAuto and SubaruGenuineParts. I called the local dealer and they said it would be special order and $55ish for just the boot. So I decided to pay just a little more and get a whole axle from Napa. Just waiting for it to get in today or tomorrow.
  2. So like some others in this thread I put a pin hole in the passenger side boot while trying to remove the old suspension and install coilovers on my 2014. Gonna be installing a brand new cv assembly since I couldn't seem to find an outer boot kit for my car. Just want to clarify some things from reading this thread; 1) to avoid having diff/tranny fluid spill, raise the front of the car a good amount? Both tires or just the side I'm working on? 2) when removing/installing the axle from the tranny, is the idea to keep it as straight as possible? Is it really that tough to avoid hitting the seal?
  3. Thanks for the info! I think I'll just chance it and go without anything. Hopefully I don't end up with a huge difference in camber between the left and right side.
  4. You guys that are slammed, how many of you actualy bought something to adjust rear camber? I'll be installing my BC's in the next few weeks, and with my work schedule it'd be nice if I have everything I need when I go to install. I've been ready to pull the trigger on some LCA's but now I'm starting to wonder if I'll really need them.The only reason I believe I would need them is to add MORE negative camber. I understand lowering will cause a lot of negative camber, which is what I want as the wheels will be 18x8.5 +30 witha 245/40-18. My goal is to just have both rear wheels at roughly the same camber. Anyone care to share your alignment specs and whether or not you have a camber kit/LCA's?
  5. I don't understand how #1 would work... It sounds like you're measuring the distance from the lip of the wheel to some line "approximately" parallel with the car. What does that tell you? I just don't see how you would keep things consistent between both sides of the car. I'm trying to understand, maybe I'm missing something.
  6. Just now learning about this fog light option... Anyone know if they would work on 13-14 Legacies as well? The site says direct fitment for 10-12 Subaru Legacy but I am not sure if the fog lights changed between those years.
  7. Stock suspension? I can't imagine those tires fitting easily once lowered!
  8. Looks nice .clipse! I quickly went through this thread and didn't see anything, but anyone slammed on coilovers have a picture of your ground clearance?
  9. I posted some more shots in this thread a few weeks ago but here ya go, with wide angle distortion and all You can check out my flickr page for a few more shots. Rota DPT powdercoated grey 18x9.5 +44 245/40r18 H&R springs again? by rmb|photo, on Flickr
  10. Yep, you should see this thing going down the road with two oval wheels on one side!
  11. My new setup. The rotas were thrashed, but I picked them up from a friend for cheap. Had two of them repaired (bent, cracked) and powdercoated Victory Grey. They are not perfect, I powdercoated over most of the road rash. But they look good if you're not a perfectionist Rota DPT 18x9.5 et43 Kumho Ecsta PA31 245/40r18 Lowered on H&R springs Very very slight stretch but I love it. No rubbing so far, but my fingers are crossed. I was also worried about the tire/wheel hitting the struts in front with the high offset, but no problems there. victory grey. by rmb|photo, on Flickr rustic. by rmb|photo, on Flickr through the trees. by rmb|photo, on Flickr
  12. That looks nice! And same tires I've been researching and about to pull the trigger on
  13. From the ground to the top of the tire....one is 25.5" tall and the other is 26.7" tall. Regardless, like the man said himself, a smaller (minute difference in size) tire can be used to avoid fitment issues or at least have a better chance of minimal fitment issues, as opposed to choosing larger tires.
