Hi

I have an 04 xt foz and some 06 sti suspension waiting to go in. I need help with this as i dont have the garage space, a decent jack or axle stands to do it, although i do have the mechincal know how (its not a hugely hard job).

If anyone feels like they have some garage space and the required tools to help me out i would love to hear from you. i want this done by this weekend sometime if possible otherwise its more waiting until i get time off work.

Cheers

All done! Took 6 beers, and 2.5hrs without including going inside for some a/c. Farken had to hit 38 today while we were in the shed. Looks good now, time for update pics Marty!!!

Good work. I thought the 06 STI suspension was somehow different to the previous years and wouldnt fit. Good to know.

It does differ, this stuff has had the slots cut on the lower bolt holes for the front struts. This allows it to be bolted up properly. will get an alignment done during the week too.



photo doesnt do justice but will take some decent ones later on, i have some serious drinking to do.

once again cheers phizzle for the help im stoked an almost complete stranger put their hand up to help me out. glad p-wrx is such a tight knit community and willing to help each other out no matter who they are or what their problem is

cheers

well here are some slightly better shots i took this morning. the height is perfect, not really noticeable which keeps po-pos happy and still plenty of clearance for towing and general driving around town.




needs someone with some decent camera skills to have a go shooting it for me.

cheers

To me it has a lower stance in this pic ^ compared to your others.

Nice looking Foz, love the colour, something different. Black and Gold the theme you going for??

Big-ups to Phizzle for helping you out.

it could probably be the angles just doing something there?

Yeah i guess i am going for the black and gold theme, i dont think chrome rims or standard grey wheels would look good. need to paint brake calipers and hubs black or something to blend it all a bit better.

Yes once again thanks heaps phizzle for helping out.
