The effed up part is that they said they knew how to set up a Subaru. With the looks of their shop I trusted them with the settings and OK it after they where done, thinking they knew what they where doing. Wish I had asked around here first on proper subie alignment specs.

Anywho I am almost ready for new tires so I figured I would wait to get re-aligned till than. Pick up some camber bolts, f/r endlinks and maybe springs.

Newark/fremont. Ask for Muhammad if he's still there. He spent some time on my car and dialed it in for me.

I take my car to Watsonville now.

I have heard them in other peoples cars and they are kinda weak. I would not pay retail for one, I do see them used for cheap from time to time. Maybe get one for the driver and passenger?

They're pointless. You'd be better off investing in nice door speakers.

So i need a little advice. Im having a little trouble making my tires clear my rear fenders even after ive rolled them, camber bolts dont work on my year for the rear and i cant afford to buy camber arms yet. I raised my car a little but the fender still hits the tire when i hit a decent bump (even ones i cant avoid like on the freeway) and its cutting holes in my tires! even on full stiffness. i was thinking about maybe shaving my rear fenders because its only hitting the fender by a few mm but idk how well it works on my year (it worked great on my old SI). Or maybe doing minimal flare work but i dont want the fender to look too banged up for when i try and sell it in the far future. what do you guys say??


on a side note is it just me or does my whip have a fat *** lol

i dont get how you're rubbing. You're not that low, and you have a wide body.
