Car vs. Driver · 03-28-2006, 09:51 AM

maxQ · 03-28-2006, 10:15 AM

04 STi
1. typhoon intake
2. DP (Perrin?), custom 3" titanium exhaust
3. K&W DA coilovers, Strano FSB
4. -2.5 +.25" toe, -1ish 0 toe.
5. 245/40-17 Kumho MXs on 17x8.5s

rkevans · 03-28-2006, 02:56 PM

04 STi

1. Stock engine
2. Apex'i axleback
3. Strano FSB, Whiteline 22mm RSB, WL Steering rack bushings
4. I have no idea. Max front neg camber on stock bolts.
5. 245/40-17 Kumho MX

If I could change something:
Less front camber... I'd like to try Azenis next... Pink springs (or similar).

Results: No trophies at Ft. Myers Tour. My co-driver 'could have' finished at the bottom of the trophies with his raw times, but had a lot of dirty runs. He's been auto-xing a Miata for the last two years -- hit all the cones with the right side of the car...

The car drove pretty well, I didn't.

Why is that? You probably have around -1.0 of camber with the stock bolts and -2.5-3.0 is what has been determined to be optimal for the Impreza platform by competitive autox'ers.

Uh, yes. -2.5 is LESS than -1.0. I just feel weird saying "more negative" camber. Oh, you're reading it as "Closer to Zero camber". Hmmm. I can see that point of view. How about more anti-positive. no.

I'd prefer the tops of my front tires to be closer to the inner fenders than they are now.

Scoobie Doogie · 03-28-2006, 04:28 PM

I'm driving Got Pink's car:

K&N intake, Stone Racing equal length headers w Swaintech ceramic coating. Accessport with STU map not installed yet.
Vishnu Turbo-back w 1 high flow cat
KW V3 Coilovers with 450lb front springs and progressive crap in the rear, strano FSB, mod'd Cusco camber plates with +6.5 deg caster, -2.2 neg camber (needs more), stock STi rear tophats (will be Cusco camber plates shortly).
245/45R17 on stock STi wheels (will be 245/45R17 RT615 Azenis on Volk 17x9 wheels soon)

Need to finalize the springs/corner-balance/install accessport/brake pads & fluid/ alignment.

I thought we are limited to 8.0 inch wide wheels?

That's STX, not STU. 245 tire width is consistent for both though.

rkevans · 03-28-2006, 05:19 PM

I thought the same thing -- and I was wrong.

jamesohoh7 · 03-28-2006, 05:24 PM

Ha!.. 'setup'!? ... my setup is crap:

stock except for:
cat-back
Hotchkiss sways f/r
RT615's (245/45/17) on 17x8 Torques.

I know, I know... 'pretty much worthless'

, but I'm working on it! I was waffling between running AS or STU this year, so I didn't do much (yeah, rear sway would have had to come off, easy).

The waffle landed syrup side down, so I went STU

BlkWRXWag · 03-28-2006, 05:33 PM

1. Stock
2. Cobb TBE with high-flo
3. Cusco Zero 2R with camber plates redrilled at 40 deg. for camber/castor, Strano FSB, Cobb RSB with Cobb adjustable billet mounts.
4. -3.0 - 1/16 toe out /-1.3 - zero toe
5. Falken 615 245/45/17 on OEM rims (on order, 5Zigen FN01R-C 17x9 with Yoko Neova 245/40/17).

Orion · 03-28-2006, 07:50 PM

1. Stock
2. Stock
3. Koni OTS yellows on with stock everything else
4. Whatever I can get out of it in stock form, but then again I don't have the issues that struts do.

5. Azenis RT615 255/40-17 on Enkei RP2 17x8 et38

<-

If there were someone locally running BS I'd be there with the same setup except for 245/35-18 V710's on OEM wheels

I retired the Subie from AutoX only to graduate it to RallyX.

You forgot the light crank pulley and recaro pole positions.

Anybody actually test different spring rates yet?

And I agree with Dave that we need more camber for sure.

Yoko Neova 245/40/17

Gee Max, I thought Mako and Jeff kept saying the 615's were the tire to get

Of course, now almost all the //M3 guys in our region are on those now - just much larger than ours

Will be interested in seeing how the KW V3's will stack up against the other brands . . . . . . Just for me, until I find a job future, all activities are on hold.

Nice ... how'd you manage that much power on stock boost? That's about as much as a typical "off the shelf" stage 2 map.

The dyno reads high and Jarrad and Tim from PDX have mad tuning skills.

silver arrow · 03-29-2006, 09:33 PM

Lets keep the STU setups coming. Where are you guys on ride height? What is the standard measure? I believe center hub to fender.

Car vs. Driver · 03-29-2006, 09:56 PM

I'm was at about 13.5" (hub to fender) all around, then I got corner balanced ... I haven't measured it since.

silver arrow · 04-01-2006, 10:30 PM

Their has to be more STU guys out there. Come on guys.

AndrewSS · 04-02-2006, 12:42 AM

Well, I plan to make the switch before the first points event this season... I am not very prepped... but the driver is evolving, gotta learn!

1. Engine: Stock
2. Exhaust: Borla XR-1 catback
3. Suspension: Strano FSB
4. Alignment: -1.0 front camber, oem rear setting, zero toe all around
5. Tires: Yokohama advan A046 (oem evo tires)

plans... maybe cusco or pde camber plates, maybe a 22-24mm rsb, and maybe a catted DP - we will see what actually gets done.
