Hey All,

so bought some BC coilovers through ebay/justjap.com last week to suit my Subaru Liberty GT 2005 model, which have just been delivered this morning.

open up the box first thing i see on the invoice and all the instructions etc is to suit 03-07 Forester.

What the?!?!

go back onto ebay already thinking what the hell have i done have i accidentally bought forester coilovers? check it all and i did purchase the right item.

SO! my question

are these infact the same, and these will suit my liberty even though it says forester, or have i been sent the wrong coilovers?? ive already rung justjap and im awaiting a call back

thanks in advance guys

Nope :( if you look at the rears, they should have mounta for a knuckle setup. Whereas liberty 99+ have multi link rear end and are different

so seems im not alone with this then! did you end up getting yours all sorted?

first i get told my order got messed up with another order, so i got the wrong item.
im now getting told ive got to wait for my coilovers to be air freighted in cause they have none in stock, Posted Image knows how long thats going to take now.

hope they arent gonna drag this out for weeks. i wont be going back to them after this thats for sure.

Is there anywhere else in OZ that stocks em? Get a refund and go elsewhere.

They were fine for me, but I went in and purchased in store.

i looked into doing that and the place i called needed to order them in for me and wanted a deposit upfront.

not that i know of. these guys are the Australian Distributor for them. i got a few quotes from places around town that stock them and cheapest i got quoted was $1600 supplied.

unfortunately just going to have to put up with them until i can get them, and then never go back.

I'd keep hold of the current coilovers until they have the others in stock..

The only problem I had with that place is they say overnight postage, but it isn't as they seem not have the product in stock and have to wait for them to get it to then post to the customer. But as they are listed as free postage you can't give them a bad rating.

But I am very happy with my purchase, good price also.

i guess they're becoming like most other companies, where its more about how much they profit not customer satisfaction.
