I'm thinking of changing the routing so the cables run under the car (in the driveshaft channel) so (a) they can't be seen under the carpet (vinyl), and (b) it means the handbrake cable is pulled up and back rather than around and up. The only problem I can see is possible interference with the dri...

Going from 16x7 to 16x8 is going to mean 215 or wider tyres, which will mean your rolling diameter is going to be taller than stock (throwing your speedo out). Unless you're planning on rubber band wheels - I worked out 8" rims would mean 40 profile tyres, and 215/40/16 aren't common (there are opt...

I see you have the same offset as I have on your 5-stud's. 16x7" it looks like ? Mine are 15x6" and handling is down from the old 14" pugs which had about a +30 offset instead of the standard Subaru +47 offset. I'm seriously considering 25mm spacers just to get the wheels back to where they should ...

i got the 4post over the 2post for a few reasons. the car needs to be perfectly balanced on a 2post otherwise death happens. 4post works any old way (within reason) the 4post lifts the car high enough that you can easly walk around/under/through without any issues at all. (plus i have the pneumatic ...
