Golds in a forester? They'd be worth more than the car! I haven't heard anything bad about the BCs but paid the extra $200 to buy local and for the support and service. The XCs were mentioned to me but I didn't feel pressured to buy them. Only thing I would say about the BCs for M35 is they are advertised as a coilover kit when the rears aren't a coilover.

I thought ARX was higher ride height so different suspension to RS and RX. If so do they make ARX specific coilovers? Otherwise the coilovers will lower the car even at their highest setting. Anyway, I'm happy with the ride, fitment and quality of my MCA blues. I asked the same question about stock ride height and you can do so with the MCAs. Not sure about the rear height with the BCs which are not a coilover but a seperate spring and shock.Yes, I'll keep an eye on my shock mounts!

"L0RD" to "son of rajab" auto correct? WTF!

“son of rajab, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill because they pissed me off!”

Yep, you don't often see the ac control by itself, hence why I still have the fascia. Welcome to the "Wagoneers".

Woo Hoo! 100 posts!

Sorry in advance. I don't know about wagoneers but I've got two buccaneers, one on each side of my buccanhead!

That sucks big time dude! I feel for you man. Probably some V8 bogan feral on ice. So many people in this world wasting perfectly good air!

^Steering wheel controls?

A bit too much low.

I thought it was kind of funny that one of mine is smashed. It's like, "you didn't see that coming you annoying little beeping f**k!"

Yep, front and rear parking sensors on the car when I got it, you get used to the incessant beeping.

Wheels on! Took her for a spin through the twisties with my new suspension mods and oh boy, we happy now!

No idea, there was no make or part number just a generic Milford plate. I emailed them with pics and am waiting to hear back.

You'd be surprised where some people can insert a 2L coke bottle!

Fitted my three under car braces, two sway bars, strut brace, calipers and MCAs. Strut brace just fits over the engine cover. Ended up removing the rotor backing plate completely rather than trimming, alternatively could have machined the inner rotor a bit. Sway bars are same dimensions as stock but a heap heavier, front stock 3kg, Dolphin 7kg. Rims ready to go on, just making some custom centre caps. Before and after. and another project I picked up for $10 at the local tip/recycle yard. Going to knock up some brackets and cut out the mesh in the lower section for longer items with the seats down.

Got this with my suspension brace bundle deal.

These should stiffen things up a bit!

Rang a couple of transmission places this morning and both said orientation doesn't matter as there is plenty of pressure to pump the fluid through. Just have to watch for kinks in the hose as it's a pretty tight bend, ideally I'd have 90° AN fittings and braid.

Yep, was going to just get the HDI but thought the BLITZ was a pretty good deal.

Yeah, I see you had yours like mine but moved it sideways and into the guard. I thought airflow would be more important. Lots of conflicting views on orientation on the intergoogles. There was plenty of pressure when I last pumped out the old fluid so not too concerned about an airlock. You've got me worried I'm going to blow up my tranny now!
