Awesome! You need an alignment?
Yeh i'll have to get an alignment after AM, but camber is fantastic right now, and it drives straight lol
I had the help of a Subaru expert, hes the co-driver for Ziptie Rally, a local team who race Rally America so he made it look incredibly easy.
We had the first strut off/spring mounted ready to go back on in 20 minutes...then we found my camber bolt was bad so we had to d**k around for an hour locating another one.
Don't need to remove the axle bolt, just disconnect ABS and brake lines and drop the strut. Super easy didnt need a spring compressor. If we had had everything it would've taken under 2 hours

Just make sure your tow isn't off, i ate through some tires real fast not getting it done on the highway.

^^ spark plugs are from from what i heard 
shane ill upload another pic tonight when i get home and lmk what u think, the drop isnt too severe so i dont think ill be abusing my tires.
Boxer engine...honestly i havent done anything to mine so I wouldn't know. I also used to think working on my D16 was tough, i think its just a matter of time.
As far as potential goes however, its very easy to make power off this engine. Its a toy car that readily accepts bolt ons...I could get a $140 downpipe and a $100 tune and free up 40hp, but that would void my warranty. Im on the fence on what to do

Brian,
Tow has nothing to do w/the degree of drop, simply unbolting/rebolting the struts can throw this off in some cars like civics.
Just a word of caution i'm not pretending to know how WRX's are
In my Miata I didn't need an alignment since we did it in a way as to not detach alignment setting bolts.

Anyway I bumped in to her last night. I was polite said my hello, how have ya been and was one my way. Last night she sent me a text and messege on F.B... I deleted them both... should I have deleted them?
