only Hi Rise I can find

http://www.funonwheels.net/hirisesubaru/pages/home.htm

and they shut a while ago.

SRJ is still making kits in America, but their site is down because of malware attacks.

Well Aussie they are and no need to swap the strut tops.

Back I go to fitting the extended rear mudflaps and the rear suspension bumper stop extenstions.
Just spent an hour on the wifes KIA Carnival trying to locate the radio/clock fuse as they were both not working.
Being KIA logic the fuse in question was the mirror fuse ;(

Bit of an old thread, but looking great Cliff.

How did you sort out the rear mud flaps? I have none on mine and would like to see what you came up with.
How about the camber, did you sort that out?
Shifters, both gears and the lo/hi range, how did that one pan out?

Cheers,
Smokey
