I had that problem and went with Cusco end links. They're not bad at all for the price if your on a budget

Cool Thanks for info I'll have to look into those for the front. The rear are really bad so I ordered some kartboys. Front still have some life. Thanks again

Looks nice ^ I had them on my black car too and I think it is a good combo.

Front corner marker was out since I bought it, so I replaced them today with LEDs

Played around with the sportshift system. Nice. Costs me MPG's but nice, in fact much nicer now, even for a N/A. 04GG should go for another ride in it now that this is done.

Tried to salvage my window frame vinyl on the driver's side and buff the scratches.

4EAT's "aggressive" mode.

Mode 1: You put it initially into "Sport" and it lets the RPM's come higher and lengthens the shift points, at which point it shifts itself depending on your pedal and driving feedback anywhere basically from 4500-redline.

Mode 2: Like Jeff said, you can then choose to shift it manually to a point instead, basically at or near redline the safety feature kicks in and it'll over-ride shift itself.

@04GG yeah, it'll have to definitely be a Weds meet deal, sooo busy, .

@Rescuer, meh, then I'd have that ugly red dash in front of me instead of the nice blue. Besides, if I was at the point I need/want paddles I would be in a XT instead where it really becomes useful.

I like how it is for now, I just wish I could actually have a manual but it would compensate for the signal delay to my left leg/foot. This at least makes a feature more usable to me as it did with others.

I had an auto Legacy wagon as a loaner from Subaru and got to play around with the sportshift deal and I thought it was pretty well implemented. Not as comprehensive as a manual obviously, but at least allowed me a little more control over what's going on.
