I'm 6'3" and I have mine at the lowest it'll go and i still feel as if I am sitting too high. I guess I just like to be a low rider.

Has anyone here tried a rear sway bar thicker than 19mm? I like how the car handles now with the 19mm bar, and get along pretty well with the perfectly neutral steering, but tend to prefer a bias to oversteer, and was considering a 21 or 22mm. I'm not sure if anyone other than perrin sells a 22 though, since theirs is ridiculously expensive.

So, I noticed something. If you go onto Tire Rack and search wheels for our cars, no BBS's pop up. But if you search a BRZ, BBS's are on the list. Any reasoning? The specs for the wheels are the same as the stock Sport wheels, and people have run BRZ wheels on our Impreza's. So..

I was looking into a couple of them.. Anyone know anything? Might pick up a set of wheels before long. Probably as soon as the H&R's are officially released. lol

Check out Whiteline.

Whiteline has those braces for the rsb too. If you're going larger, you may want them.

I just ordered the perrin 22 rear and Cusco 24 front yesterday. I can update once they arrive.

Sometimes I feel like my Impreza is slowly transforming into a WRX with the stuff I've been doing to it. ...and the stuff I want to do to it eventually. Anyone know if 08+ WRX Seats will fit in our Imprezas? They're comfy and I like how they hold the driver. They're also pretty slick looking. Would they bolt-up to the mounting points on our 4th Gen Imprezas?

AJB001 · 03-18-2013, 01:08 PM

What is the part number on the Cusco front sway bar? All I see are WRXs and Forester listed. Thanks

If you go larger you probably will need aftermarket endlinks, so plan on spending 400+ to gain that extra few mm

nubsub · 03-18-2013, 02:28 PM

this is probably a dumb question, but here it goes...

i recall hearing that once a trip odometer hits 10,000 miles, it resets.

so does that mean it just resets straight to zero, or does it stay pegged at 10k and just show a running average/statistics from the previous 10,000 miles?

i'm assuming the former, although the latter would be pretty cool

Goes back to zero.

Goes back to 0. Happened to me over the weekend.

I was pissed, cuz I'd been using it to keep track of lifetime fuel economy, since the fuel economy readout in my car is quite accurate.

Unlock button twice

Dirt Bringer · 03-19-2013, 10:29 AM

So I was looking to get a rallytek license plate delete. Will any license plate delete that fits the 08+ models fit our car? Do I need standoffs or any hardware to add it?

scoutisimo · 03-19-2013, 10:50 AM

Anyone seen the jdm bottom door garnish on ebay? Very cool. But the price is intense.
