So has a full V4 cut been used or just the motor and box etc?
ie, did you get the alloy control arms, 4 pots etc?

If you got the factory STi pink shocks all round then there's no need to 'upgrade' to china-bay coilovers. The pinks are better.

I thought it was just a stock JDM '00 GT Forester cut (EJ205, TD04, WRX cams etc.)?

It's the full halfcut with brakes,wiring loom, engine,gearbox and i'd imagine the control arms aswell

Have you been paying attention

Turns out the forester halfcut wasn't compatible with my car and they luckily got another halfcut in at the time so now they are putting in a v4 sti ra halfcut into my car

V4 has the updated dash as well so if they are installing that as well you won't recognise your car when you get it back. Door trims will need to be changed to suit as well.
Sounds good...

My bad, must have gone past that bit when scrolling back through. If its a V4 STi, then don't bother doing anything ECU wise, just go and enjoy it.

Why don't you get Fats to fit a 3" TBE? they used to have a shit load laying around, also have a look around for a strut brace, ALK, bigger rear sway bar...........The front STI one is pretty good because it has rose joints.

I'm not sure but from the pictures that fats sent me I think the 96 dash is staying in

I never really asked much when I dropped the car off but i'm pretty sure fats will put whatever needs to go on the car, they also got a container in recently so when I go there I'll have a good look around.
Thanks
