Most likely the same place I got mine for the 08.
Can get it from Subaru Genuine Parts and should be able to get the part from Subaru Australia, just unsure of the price they will charge.

Is it loss of lateral grip or back end coming out when mashing your foot to the floor?

Loss of lateral grip = most likely tyres need to be scrubbed in

Power slide = doubtful it is this but alignment will make it easier - probably same as the first.

Oily + wet roads, new tyres needed to be scrubbed in, alignment no longer on the soft side covering up any driving mistakes = will be a bit slippy.

i think, ive probably starting to accelerate just coming out of the turn...not to the floor but my car comes on boost quick so il need to adapt to the changes.
the ass end just didnt follow as per normal it kicked out then traction control took over and it felt boaty.

i think if taken adavntage of -skidpan days are going to be alot of fun..but on the roads il need to concentrate.

ian diffen had them pumped up at 43psi each which i think is huge.. so ive dropped em to 35 all round as braking/accel etc... feels better

id say your right and they need to get some dry kms on them to settle them

i know we have had this discussion before -im going to try and soften my rear coilovers a tad more from last time as well. seen its winter now they might just be still to stiff il knock a couple notches off and see how we go.

Running -2 degrees rear camber will do that. Thats too much and its even more than the front. Only works if you are going fast and the car can load up into the corners. Now its just sliding on the enge of the tyre. Camber puts less tyre onto the road for slow driving.

You've only got -1 on the rear. Shouldn't be an issue

Went to Evo R yesterday and had my 10 pc silicone hose kit installed and Cusco oil change. Cheers to the team there for working on it, who knew the 08 models were such a PIA to work on. come up looking pretty tidy, just need to dash into a subi dealer and do a UEC when i get the chance.

As many of you keep saying - im in deep need for a track day. Well today i did just that. get a tiny amount of experience before i join the club. Met Master D and Jimmy and a few others from the forums. Got some good launches and tested my suspension out and tyres.
