    Changing cruise control increments

    Takes a bit of practice, if you hold too long it shoots up.

    Auto door lock when driving

    The features and specs of the Levorg vary considerably depending on where you are, which market. Too many questions here without any context of location etc. Suggest you put your location in your profile, like mine, then maybe someone will be able to help.

    Wanted (If such a thing exists?) Shallow boot underfloor tray to allow space saver wheel to be stored

    Tyre is 135/80R17. There was already a captive nut with bolt in the bottom of the well.

    Good shock absorber or coilover recommendations for UK 2016 Levorg?

    Not seen these before, looks like a good alternative to coilovers. Thanks! In the UK, I see that Tegiwa are doing them for £516 for the set.

    Wanted (If such a thing exists?) Shallow boot underfloor tray to allow space saver wheel to be stored

    The UK version is the same as yours - just storage, no spare. I just got rid of the foam inserts etc and stuck a space saver in there. There's plenty of room on top of it for storing other stuff. Space saver came from eBay. A full size spare will fit too.

    Good shock absorber or coilover recommendations for UK 2016 Levorg?

    Yes £765 for the set of 4. Some Teins are TUV approved, but not all. Not sure about Levorg ones. Other options for the 'vorg include BC Racing, and German made KW. More expensive though.

    Good shock absorber or coilover recommendations for UK 2016 Levorg?

    Heads up: Tein Flex Z for Levorg 15% off at Torque-GT this week, = £765. Good value, if they're better than stock.

    Good shock absorber or coilover recommendations for UK 2016 Levorg?

    Forester suspension won't fit, different platform. I've had a few Outbacks and Foresters, I don't find the Levorg delicate at all. The suspension on my '17 is fine 75% of the time, it's just certain circumstances upset it. It's been very good on trips to Spain, Germany and Denmark, but it needs...

    Good shock absorber or coilover recommendations for UK 2016 Levorg?

    I agree that the stock suspension has its issues. The Bilsteins are even worse, according to reports from Australia and NZ. Their go-to solution is locally sourced MCA coilers, sadly not available here, and costly to import. I'm investigating alternatives myself. Best would probably be Ohlins...

    STI Roof end Spoiler Install ?

    My car had the genuine STI one already fitted when I got it - no screw holes anywhere, seems to be glued on.

    Levorg and WRX from the Netherlands / 19 inch 245/40R19

    Any other modifications, or just the ecutek tune?

    Possible buyer - questions

    Where are you? Specs are different in different markets, for instance, in Europe (and UK) the EyeSight system is only fitted on post 2017 cars. Sounds like you need to do a test drive to find out noise levels etc, they're very subjective. It's worth pointing out that yours is a non-turbo 2L -...

    Getting a wire into the engine bay

    I went in the other side, ran the cable through this spare grommet next to the master cylinder. Poke the wire through this, and it comes out up behind the pedals

    Getting a wire into the engine bay

    I fitted a similar kit to my 2017 car, I wired it directly to the battery after trying different spare fuse slots and failing to get anything to work. It's the control box that needs constant power.

    Confirmed? Subaru Levorg VM4 CAN actually handle 300Nm?

    I've been running my UK 1.6 at 294 Nm (216 lb/ft) for nearly 2 years now with no problems. My gearbox is TR580 R58BA. Mid range acceleration is very much improved, and 0-60 mph is nearly 2 seconds quicker.

    The Levorg wheel fitment topic

    Sure. They're Traklite Gear 17x7.5 et45 currently running 225/50x17 tyres. No longer made sadly. Same construction and weight as an Enkei RPF1, which are readily available at a price. The weight saving of these wheels and tyres over the WRX STI 18x8.5 with 245/40 tyres is 6.8 kg per corner...

    The Levorg wheel fitment topic

    No rubbing, and obviously they don't rub on the WRX STI, which is probably lower than a standard Levorg. You should be fine. They are noisier though, and heavy, I've sold mine and run on the lightweight 17s, improves the ride and handling.

    Newbie from the UK

    A 2017> car has EyeSight system, and a few other improvements, but as ever, buy on condition and history.
