Dre come on man, you think I would order from Vivid? If I order it, I want it in the same week, not at the end of the year...

Some people have become 'livid' from their dealings with certain vendors...

Gruppe-S is better by far.

When was the last time you looked under your car? That is definitely NOT a Subaru.

a) notice the lack of longitudenal transmission?
b) notice the control arm bushings and location, as well as the shape of the control arm itself?
c) notice the exhaust location and hangers?
d) notice the lack of exhaust manifold?

Please be more careful with the use of the word "definitely".

To get back on subject, I emailed Vivid asking for pictures of the JIC on a Subie and they didn't have any. In addition, they could not confirm if the JIC would fit with an ALK so I opted to not be the guinea pig. With the lowered subframe from the ALK install, I was afraid the JIC would not work based on the way it attaches to the car in the picture. ANyone know for sure?

Pretty sure thats not correct. On the WRX the V1 and V2 can't be used together. They share the same mount points. On an EVO, yes they can be used together.
