  1. Yep, I have a 3mm spacer in the rear only so it’s effectively +45.
  2. I’m at a +45 in the rear with my 3mm spacer, which doesn’t rub on a 235/45/17 and I’m pretty low. It rubs in the front though, just a little, without the spacer.. I’d like to say you’ll be fine with a +45 offset and that tire. It’s a real PITA finding the best fit and maxing out tire size. I’ve run a 18x8.5 +48 and 225/40/18 in the past without issue. I also had a 17x9 +45 RPF1 with a 235/40/17 and it fit without rubbing except slightly on the inside fender liner. I also had a 18x8.5 +40 with a 235/40/18 and it rubbed a lot even with a decent bit of camber. A little bit of camber will help make the fronts fit of it only needs a little tweaking, assuming you have a good performance alignment shop nearby.
  3. I have the flexible STi strut top bar and the lower flexible bar too. I installed them top, then lower bar sometime afterwards, and I think there was a nice little improvement. The front end feels tighter, and a little less noisy/less dash rattle. Really happy with them both, just need to install the two other braces that come with it.
  4. I took my wagon to a car show last weekend and was also overwhelmed by the amount of shenanigans. It was pretty embarrassing, although not an overwhelmingly Subaru crowd, but just obnoxious behavior. I left before the police asked everyone to vacate.
  5. Definitely jump on a rear sway bar. I’m not aware, but if the corresponding STi part is plug and play, it’s a great upgrade for cheap. I installed one on my 2014 Forester, which is 20mm and I got one for $50 locally
  6. Boom, new doors installed Now back to the Legacy… Picking up a Grimmspeed turbo heat shield, JDM battery cover and Mishimoto radiator soon
  7. Idk, I respect silverton’s practicality and knowledge just about as much as anyone on this site. Good luck
  8. Subaru fixed my brake line rupture a couple years ago. They footed the bill, and there was a pretty substantial amount of work, but unfortunately I can’t remember exactly what and the cost. Same situation though, was about a mile from home and coming to a stop when the pedal went completely soft. I had enough pressure to stop, but I quickly peered under the car and saw fluid pouring from in front of the rear wheel. Limped it home and then another mile and a half to the dealership.
  9. Another reason to keep your old Legacy around: https://dnyuz.com/2024/03/11/automakers-are-sharing-consumers-driving-behavior-with-insurance-companies/
  10. Send it out to a good Subaru shop? An experienced mechanic could likely accomplish these items for a couple hundred bucks I’d think.
  11. If @Holla doesn’t grab the exterior driver door handle I’d likely take it. And I’d snag the battery cover if willing to split them, plus the turbo heat shield
  12. Important to note that rear bar is not legacy fit, it’s for an Impreza I know it’s in the description but I almost made the accident of messaging you before looking and it’s worth repeating
  13. That was parts and labor, and I was able to cash in car rental costs worth about $450 of the total.
  14. The damage wasn’t too bad, she just brushed into me as she was backing up. I’m not going to fix the fender, the car has 184k miles and some scars are acceptable to me. The damage was estimated around $3k and the doors were $1k.
