I don't know of many nealers around here that deal with other than USDM or Subaru of America approved parts. Exeter in NH and a couple of shops out in the west are dealers, and then have a side thing of importing parts.

I don't know about regular weekend meets, sorry.

Welcome to the boards boomee!

I don't know any dealers around the area that might be able to help you with the Forrester STI parts. You might try Henry at Don Beyer Subaru. He gives DCAWD guys a discount usually and can sometimes come by the occasional JDM part.

If you're looking outside of dealerships, try searching for the parts you want on Froogle

Most clubs around the area have meets during the week, but they all occationally have weekend ones

Just keep your eyes peeled on the boards!

Take care,

Hey Boomee. I only know of two places:

www.japanparts.com
www.jdmpartstx.com (located in MD)

Still trying to source parts for my '04XT.

Oh.. suspension and brakes... www.racecompengineering.com

Myles, Kelly and the gang are #1 in performance suspension and brakes. They may be a little pricey but everything they have is worth the money.

I can certainly help you out with parts selection...I'm a Whiteline dealer, and they have a ton of Forester-specific stuff, so that's one line of products to consider.

There are a ton of great vendors in this area...there are only one or two that I can't stand, and they aren't on this board

Hey, can you get the whiteline quick release kit for a rear strut bar? I really need that for my wagon.

Here is a pic that has the part #KSB790:

That way I can turn a replica STi rear strut bar into a quick release bar...which reminds me I need a replica STi rear strut bar as well

$32.65 is your cost. I'll check and see if it is available.

The entire bar (ksb586q) is $154.80

I don't know. I need something that is cheap and will fit the rear of an '04 STi.

Send me an email and we'll discuss it further...no point in cluttering up the forum.
