I was just trolling, hence the :-P



If you want more low...

Buy a new impreza

Wow, I've only seen the new sedan until today. That looks exactly like a lowered XV. Are there any real differences apart from ride height?




Isnt the whole point of the XV as a SUV crossover? The biggest mod to it from the parent car Impreza is being raised to 223mm clearance ... totally confused as to why anyone would suggest getting one lowered. Odd.

Totally agree with Sooby XV-L and sav84C


People would get one lowered for the same reason they lower a Forester.


The main reason would be that they never go offroad and want a tough-looking, slammed car.

A minority would do it for actual handling benefits. Ie; lower centre of gravity and better cornering through thicker sway bars and lower&firmer springs.



But I get the main idea of having an VX is for the 'lifted' factor of towering over other cars on the road. Whether or not it has practical offroad applications I can't comment on, as I know little about 4x4ing. But I imagine that anyone serious about 4x4ing would get something else.



That said, I still believe it's still better than what else is currently offered in the 'soft roader' segment of the new-car market.

In Topic: squealing when applying brakes in reverse

Remove the pads and apply a small amount of high temp copper grease to the edge of the pad backing plate where it contacts the caliper bracket.
You could also add a light smear of CRC 'Disc Brake Quiet' to the back of the pads.

Works every time. :)


looks like something like that is in order. I'll do it @ next service.

I hope I can actually jack the car up with my rather low jack. Still havent tried as it's a new car for me. Hopefully the 4x4 spec ride height won't screw me up, bit I'm sure it will. I think it only goes up to 350mm
