I don't know much about 370Z springs specifically but I'm guessing that these are progressive or dual-rate springs (less space between some coils, just by physical appearance.) These work out so that some of the coils end up compressed and touching under normal load and expand to keep the spring positioned when the springs are unloaded (like when you take it over some sweet jumps.)

If that is the case then the rubber is there so the springs don't clank when they compress and touch as the suspension is loaded/unloaded in regular driving (speed bumps, things like that.)

Oh you got jokes do you?

Sweet, so I can just scrap them right?

TGIF y'all!

well, do I just plug the cable into my laptop, boot my cipher software and data log? or is there something more?

Yep, That's basically it, make sure you plug the other end of the cable into the OBDII port

. I'll tell you, it's easier if you have someone else with you to start/stop the data logging, but not necessary.

In this case, really, go with your instinct, can't worry too much...

Also, this is a DD that might serve you for only 2 yrs... after that, it's Mrs..

However… If I will suggest you, then the 1st is still Impreza then 2nd is Fit...

hey there, mr.alcheg - thanks for all the suggestions.

while i could give the wife my dd hypothetical cvt impreza-hatch in 2yrs, i think having an AT car to drive all through winter with my G&Z (both MT) hibernating in the garage is going to suck big time. i just hate AT.

I went stage2, blew my turbo, went 20g, blew my motor, then bent valves, then cracked a cam in half... thats when I said screw this and traded for the 370... They are great cars if you keep them stock. But remember there is a shop in Colorado that does nothing else but work on Subarus. That is all they do all day everyday and they are always busy...

yah, ive had 2 subaru's ive bought brand new and both had factory build problems. one was bone stock, AT (i got it for the wife), and it was so unreliable i decided after 3yrs when the warranty was up, to just sell it and get the FitSport since i had such success with previous honda's (except for the 06 civic EX i had built in ohio

was in the shop for a week for warranty repair under 1k miles).

Mrs. Kenchan know about "iggyland", maybe she can help Kenchan?!

ms.blackcherry -

ive been pretty transparent about this dd search this time. she's aware of all the cars ive looked at or test driven. i think this is wat she feels out of the few left on my short list.

my goal is to keep this dd for 5yrs minimum:

Impreza hatch cvt - 0% confidence i will keep for 5yrs.
Impreza hatch 5MT - 50% confidence i will keep for 5yrs.
FitSport MT - 60% confidence i will keep for 5yrs.
MS3 - 70% confidence i will keep for 5yrs.
Juke - 80% confidence i will keep for 5yrs.
Sonic - 100% confidence i will hate it in 1wk.
