also, ordered some hawk HPS pads, F&R. cant wait for these!!!
Did you get your 30k done at a subaru dealership? Do you know what the 30k mile check includes and how much did you pay? thx

i wouldnt pay them to do the 30k. i would DIY. i switched to fully synthetic Motul trans fluid and also for the rear diff.

the service/owners manual states everything that is required for the 30k mile. everything is really really easy to do!

i got a break on it.

i ended up paying under 400 with them mounting my new tires. everything was done right, so whatever.


joe-
i like the dash alot, but i think the stock one matches my specific color car better. unless we can find some dark gray paint.

true, i wouldnt have let anyone other than a subaru dealer or myself do it.

i remember reading they wanted a lot more for 30k mile service (so you must've gotten a pretty good price break).

the car feels a lot smoother afterword doesnt it??

STi vs. STi..... thats like chuck norris vs. chuck norris, no one wins or loses, but someone, somewhere, even though they're innocent, will explode...
