Man, Tires are so important to Subaru driving experiences. A bad set will make it feel like a tercel and a good set, a GTR skyline. i had a wild adventure trying to get my continentals fitted to a new pair of wheels - the Drag DR34 needs special, smaller-than-normal lugnuts. tire shops excluding discounttire dont carry special socket or the required "tuner" lugnuts. - wobbles and imbalance, or perhaps "flat spot" corruption, as overheard in the svc bay My lesson? Sticky good- yokohama or pirelli softer the better - go to a tire store located on a highway exit - i think they spin balance the tires at a higher mph subuaru's sensitivity to tires obviously gets amplified at high speed. any issues become really unpleasant companions thru wheel and body structure NVH... spoils the fun. |

I've had a pretty good run with these so far, no issues for about 5,000 miles.
As far as the credit from tire rack, I don't know, haha. My father had credit on his account from something and he let me use it. |

I had them installed by a shop when I got the coilovers and tune, but I don't have a lot of rust to begin with.

My rust isn't as bad as I thought. Saw it on a lift for the first time and its really just on body panels and exhaust, but will probably still make life difficult for bushings/ sways |

the bushings are awesome. one of the best upgrades. steering is a lot tighter, no clunking. over all it's made the car feel more taut.

Mickey at oswald performance (http://www.oswaldperformance.com) was kind and accommodating enough to make me a hybrid of sorts. I have a wrx wagon that I am turning into a track car and I wanted the best of both worlds with this brace: I wanted the wagon top fitment, since it's a bit narrower, with the breast plate of the sedan, to aid in better load introduction into the chassis.
A lot of people with wagons do not realize this, but we have all the bolt holes, on the rear seat area, that the sedan has, they are just covered by a piece of metal, that needs to be removed. After that piece is removed on both sides, the sedan breast plate fits without any issues whatsoever. I haven't actually confirmed this, but I do believe the rear seats fit with the brace. Installed and ready to go: |

It's been a while since I posted mine. I removed the rails last weekend and washed, clay'd, polished, and waxed this weekend. My camera sucks along with my photography skills but nonetheless here it is.
