Slide hammer!

That's something I'll look into. Any chance of separating the wheel hub assembly or popping the axle off of the diff on accident if I do this?

Sunk so much money into tools already... really hoping I won't need one considering how new the car is (yes, it's 4 years but still).

Mine is the same age, but living in New England means there are plenty of rusted up things under the car that won't come out gracefully when the time comes. Not sure where you are, but Subaru in general isn't well known for not rusting no matter where you are.

Updated the taillights on my '15 to the '17+ OEMs. They look a lot nicer than I expected.

I finished up painting the passenger side calipers, then swapped in new pada all around.
Finished off Sunday with a full wheels off detail, and a beautiful Sunday evening drive.

Very nice! I wish the 860 was offered in asphalt grey when I was looking. What front lip is that and where did you get it from if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks.
Link is here for the lip.

Also had my alignment done. With SPC camber bolts the driver side would only adjust to -1.1° from 0° while the passenger went all the way to -1.9° from -.7°. Dialed back the passenger to match.
The rears matched at -2.3° with no camber adjustment.

Kind of disappointed I didn't get more camber on the left. The tech wasn't familiar with that style bolt. Maybe the washer was the issue.

Was this with the 81305 lower bolt? Did you take the bottom bolt and use it in the top as a crash bolt? I intend on doing that this weekend.

Updated from a really old OFT stage 1 tune to version 4.03 and then installed the TRD CAI (I had a TRD drop-in before). So yeah, it's pretty hard to tell how each change contributed to performance, since I did them on the same day. Overall, though, the butt dyno detected no conclusive change in performance, although the driving experience was still quite pleasant.

The engine bay was still a dirty mess, so I didn't bother taking a picture.

I didn't opt to use the crash bolt. I didn't think I'd need it to get -1.5°. -1.8° was ideal.

hey guys i got a super simple question but im confused, ive got h11 and 9005 bulbs for my high/low beams and drl, right now theyre the yellow halogens. Ive found h11 and 9005 led bulbs with a lower rated wattage. Ive heard some people saying it wont work even though as far as i know, its the same bulb and there should be no reason it wont work. Basically I just want to know if the led's will work. for reference its these ones (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07...JAFJ2R5R&psc=1 , https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07...JAFJ2R5R&psc=1
