What other vehicles do you think these will fit....forrester ?Legacy? Impreza up to which year etc If I could get specific year and model that would be great. The guy that is building it has asked. I said I would try and work on a list

I know the track was increased in the impreza when they went to the GDB, but I'm unsure how this affects things. I'm told that I could run a GDB member on my car though. so...

I'm 99% sure they will fit the following (though some might need supporting mods):

Legacy:
BC/BF
BD/BG
BE/BH - Front only (as rear is multi-link)

Impreza:
GC/GF
GD/GG

Forester:
SF

I don't know the newer models enough to even speculate. The thing is, the customers interested in buying these likely know what they can and can not fit to their car, these aren't exactly like a set of wheels, tis serious business

SG Forester is the same as GG Impreza. Track differences are in the lateral arms.

This is something I'd love to know. Is there acutally any differences in the crossmembers themselves? If they do have the same mounting points, would a stock GD member be stiffer than a GC one for example?

Well I don't see Subaru making a more flexible crossmember then fitting it to a stiffer chassis. Maybe something to ask PBMS?

Are these a one off at this stage

I have been told that they will go into production and there will probably be a race and street version with the main difference being a change to allow the fuel tank to remain in place rather than having to use a fuel cell!
