Looks like the rear sag issue is fixed!

The struts/springs seem to have settled, but I'm still swaping the rear struts out soon. They are just sitting in a box in the garage. I'm also adding 1/4 spacers. I have a new trailer I want to tow, so I want stronger struts anyway.

I love your XT! The work you do looks top notch professional. I've dubbed you as my "Forester Mentor" :-) I want to put together more of a "rally" look for mine though.

sea-scooby · 05-17-2008, 12:46 AM

Thanks for the compliments! Our XT is the street cruiser, and the X is our more rugged offroader. I've had lots of good times in both.

hey sea-scooby they look great!

sea-scooby · 06-08-2008, 06:38 PM

My rear struts were swapped out for Forester specific KYB GR2s, and I also added 1/4" HDPC spacers to make sure i had no rear sag.

Last night I also finished my boost gauge install. I'm really liking it. It is a 45mm Omori elctronic boost gauge. I compared it to my Cobb AP and it seems to be right on.

My 17" OBXT wheels have been sold, and my 18" Rota Tarmac 3s arrive on Tuesday. I'm going to wrap the new shoes in a set of Continential Contiextremecontact 225/45/18s that should arrive on Monday.

My OBXT 17" went to a Friend with a 2001 Forester S to replace his 16" wheels adn Geos. He is very happy! He is going on a road trip and he really wanted the new wheels/tires for the long drive. That means I'm rolling on my 16" WRX wheels with snow tires for a few days.

they are awesome dude, still no pix of keys though, haha

tallazzFilipino · 06-28-2008, 06:10 PM

for the 05MY XTs, did CGM come on the 5MTs while PSM came on the 4EATs? my bad, if it was already mentioned.

sea-scooby · 06-28-2008, 06:12 PM

You can get PSM or CGM with either tranny.

tallazzFilipino · 06-28-2008, 06:16 PM

that's just weird. they might as well should have had JBP along with OBP for 05 then. lol

My new wheels are only 60 miles away!!! They will probably deliver tomorrow!! My tires should show up today, so hopefully on Wednesday I can get it all installed.

sea-scooby · 06-30-2008, 11:20 AM

DHL has my wheels on the truck scheduled for delivery today. My tires are also scheduled to arrive. I have softball tonight, so I'll have to wait until Tuesday to get them put on unless the baby comes.
