    So yeah, I'm back from Australia and New Zealand, and I'd just like to say that there are a ton of subies there. Holy crap...and some pretty sweet versions I've never seen before. Lots of crazy souped-up Fords (xr-8), Peugeots, Holdens...anyway, I'm sad that we don't have some of those cars here.

    Now that I am back, I have all my suspension gear piled up in my garage, and I would like to install it. Since I have a crappy tuck-under garage at an apartment, I don't have the necessary means, for the necessary means to do all that I wish to do.

    Things I have to install on MY 02 Wagon:
    KYB AGX Struts (Wagon setup)
    Prodrive Springs
    STi Group N Front/Rear Top Hats
    14mm Camber Bolts (4)
    Kartboy Differential Bushings
    Prodrive Steering Rack Bushings
    Perrin Front Sway Bar/Endlinks
    Whiteline Quick Release Rear Strut Brace
    Perrin Oil Catch Can

    I could also use a brake pad change as well :) For which I have extras.

    SO...yeah...Anyone interested in this install extravaganza? I could definitely use a bit of help. ;) Compensation can be discussed.

    Oh yeah...anyone have a suggestion for a front strut brace for a wagon with an APS IC?

    Thanks,
    - Justin K.

    I'd be willing to help out. I got an oversized 2 car garage that is inslated (sp?), but all I got for heating is a little electric heater. With it being 2 degrees this weekend, The idea of being out there isn't fun without a good heater. I will have most of the needed tools including air tools, jacks, etc. I've done suspension work before on both my old jeep and my old honda, but never a subaru. I need to get something like this: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs...03+500182+90101&marketID=101&locStoreNum=2806

    that's what I figured...so, anyone looking to help a brotha out with installing some of this? I know its not rocket science but some scooby experience would be preferred ;) it would be within the next month. I've got squeaking and clunking that I'm just tired of!!!

    sorry...it wasn't ignored... :( I'm just keepin' it open to see who is able to help out. Do you have spring compressors? Not sure if they're really necessary with the prodrives.

    spring compressors would be needed to undo the stock ones.. but not to put on the pro-drives

    They can be borrowed at any checker auto. All you need to do is put down a deposit and you get it back when you bring the compressor back.
