mikeyvt Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Keep the heat gun as your roll and go slow and you should be ok. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo666 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Yep, totally should have rolled BEFORE paint. I just ordered the eastwood roller. I don't mind repainting the fenders Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo666 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 I put on last night the legacy gt rear upper control arms. Only to realise they are the same lenght only curved. It did not change a thing when on the ground. Mabe a little bit less camber but I don't mind since the adj lcas will probably do. So I took them off. They were around 500$us at the dealer... After that I put on the rear stock 3.6r sedan springs. Sounds good sonfar since the drop is about level with the front h&r. Maybe I will be able to keep my big 245/45/19 with a slight ro Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo666 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 ...roll I also did a test with 235/35/19 tires but they look weird. Kinda too small for the car... or for the huge wheels. Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo666 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 And this is with the 245. Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppertone Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 The 245 is looking like it's the win. 2010 2.5GT limited is for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Like we were talking. The 245, for piece of mind, roll back the inner lip of the fender. Rather than a true "pull" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo666 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 The stock 3.6r rear springs are a perfect match to the front Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo666 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 ... to the front h&r for 3.6r. The drop is almost even, maybe a real small spacer will be added, and the comfort is really improved. I think I found my answer. Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo666 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 With 3.6r rear springs. There is a lot of rear camber so it looks lower on this pic. Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoo666 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Rolled my fender last night. Went nicely!! But I need to investigate because there is still a lot of rubbing coming from the rear.

scoobydoo666 Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 The rubbing is only the plastic inner fenders. They will be heated then reshaped. Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhitter Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Any tips on rolling the fenders? I am going to do it soon and have all the same tools as you. Mine will be hidden by my flares though so I can butcher it a little. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine will be hidden by my flares though so I can butcher it a little. I have a roller and have done my old 1992 Legacy all the way around, my buddy's 1993 Legacy wagon all the way around, and a slight roll on the front of my GT. Going to tackle the Forester some time this summer. Come on over and we'll have a fender rolling day. No butchering allowed though. Its not hard and turns out well if you take your time and make sure to use the heat.

theGeneral Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Just an amazing build, quality is top notch. Not a fan of the rims or the color (would be amazing black). Curious, did you keep a build book on the project? Cost? Hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
