Common rear knock it the inverted rear shocks on the sedan, you can cure it temporarily by spraying lithium grease on the rear shock under the covers. I had it on my WRX Hawk. OEM brakes have not right to be on a car like this. I uprated mine with a godspeed kit

Looks like a great car, nothing major wrong and specced up to the max with optional extras too, nice. Just catching up with your videos from the last couple of weeks now. 😊

I honestly expected it to be far worse, just needs a little TLC.
Shouldn't take much to get it driving perfect again 😁

life valley road - are you guys North west based? You sound close to me lol - need to come catch up if your about ?
the "uprated" droplinks on the rear suck - mine sheared off after a few drives - might have just got unlucky though really. I just went with new OEM ones, some new bushes for the roll bar (kept OEM roll bar) - the BC coilovers changed the driving so much i just didn't feel the need.
the calipers are a replacement for OEM but they couldn't put SUBARU on it - i had MTEC disks and red stuff pads - it improved braking but after owning the 600bhp gtr with giant brakes i just got so used to stopping much better - so i replaced the lot with D2 6pot front and 4pot rear with 356mm discs... not cheap but the single best mod i did to the car

Those calipers are oem ones. Get some better pads and change the brake fluid. That's what helped my Bugeye WRX.

[@LeadFootash23]

I thought the original ones had "Subaru" printed on them like the back ones do?
Discs and pads is definitely next after sorting the shock 🙂

[@YTSsport]

@@LeadFootash23 yeah they are just a oem replacement I mean. Unless you go to subaru directly you'll get them from Euros or wherever.

[@LeadFootash23]

@@YTSsport ah yeah that's what we figured. I'll get some discs and pads and do a fluid change and see if that helps.
Feels like the pads might have glazed over or something, they hardly do anything when you're driving quick and one of the discs is slightly warped which won't be helping
