Do you want stock replacement or something with more aggressive valving?

Yay!

Wow... just shaking my head while reading through all the new posts in the thread. So- I'm an engineer. 90% of the assumptions in this thread are total BS. I guess I should call one of my buddies up in Ford powertrain engineering (lots of shared tech still in the recent Mazda/Ford...

Is yours auto or stick? I'd consider selling you the aftermarket parts from mine, maybe swap suspension? PM me!

Hi. Suggestions and tips on what? What do you like?

Send some of your oil to Blackstone Labs the next time you change it- see how the wear compares to 0w20 (which means you have to run it again for a period).

Hiiiiiiiiii! Since I've been here last: Oil change Front sway bar bushings Coil packs Valve cover gasket AC system refresh Belts New head unit JBL component speakers all around PPI 4x60 + 200 amp to drive system Infinity 860w sub in the back Battery Upgraded to 225/50-17 tires, fits fine even...

If someone in the Dallas / Fort Worth area wants to bring over other wheels (3, 5) I can check clearances. :)

I prefer true air horns backed by an air compressor...

Sounds good then. :)

Moved it for you. ;)

Nice safety mod!

You're very welcome ;)

Still too much money for me. ;)

Try this first- play with the fader on your stereo now. Front only, then all speakers, then front only again. I'll bet that you'll hardly be able to hear any difference at all. To me, the rears in the 5 are really just filler, as in hole filler. You really can't hear them. Your car audio junkies...

Stock suspension?

Caught a screw in the 2000 mile old front left tire. Drove on it flat for a few miles before I pulled over at a Discount Tire to figure out what the hell the noise was- and then figured out that Discount Tire is closed on new year's day. Double swapped the wheels in the parking lot using the...

Without going back to look up the part numbers from my orders, I picked up the cheapie C-TEK rotors (the coatings on the hats are really the only difference before you get to cryo-treat), and the ceramic quiet something or other pads. The calipers were from Centric too- full replacement sets-...

The 5 is the wife's daily... I hardly drive it. And nah on the Forester. I had the opportunity to pick up an old school Subaru RX (the 80s sedan) with the factory turbo 4 and 4WD for $1800 from a friend, but I passed. Wish I had bought it to play with.

You can always cut an MDF spacer on your own- if you don't have a router and a vertical scroll cutter tool thingy, a jigsaw works in a pinch... And "4-way" speakers are quite overrated. A good solid 2-way speaker with a good internal crossover will outperform mid-range 4-way speakers. Not that...
