thanks! fitment is perfect. other than possibly needing to adjust the latch down to get some tighter clearance on the bumper, the only problem i had were the trunk springs (wrx) turned it into a renascence style catapult so i had to take them out until i can get some wingless springs and hope they are better.

i do not right now. i can try to get one this week though. after i put it on i was literally DRIPPING in sweat so a shower and cool beer was more of a priority

also looking to get some extended exhaust hangers cause its a little too close to the bumper for my taste.

We put Spec C aluminum control arms on my wagon yesterday. Major improvement in how the car feels in turns. We also did a 25mm Eibach front sway bar, which also gets a lot of credit. My wagon now has STi sedan control arms front and rear. I wish it had come from the factory like that.

How do you like the Eibach sway bars? They are one of the best priced at under $300 for the pair. I had their front sway on my s2000 and really liked it a lot. I don't hear much about them on the Subarus.

I'm a graduate of the Derek Zoolander center for children who can't read good http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/tech/....jsp?techid=85

As I learned (from the previous owner of my vehicle) the bed in proceedure for hawk HPS pads is cruicial. Mine squeel, and create more dust than any other pad I have ever used in my life. I'll be getting stoptechs here pretty soon.

Mike, I wash my car every 6-7 days. Stoptechs you can get away with about every two weeks before the dust is so bad you need a tooth brush to scrub it off. With the HPS's on my car now the calipers, wheels, and everything inbetween are FILTHY in less than 5 days. It's a ****ing OCD nightmare. I want to bathe everytime I look at my wheels.

Hawk ceramic pads here. I haven't washed my car in about a month and the wheels don't look too caked with brake dust.

I didn't post this yesterday, but I did the always-on fog light (replace as DRL function) mod on my STI. Now my fog lights can be used without my low beams.
