I don't know much about the basic ones but I've heard they start to warp after a while. I was turned off by the price of the urethane ones and ended up finding a used pair on this forum for half the price of new. They were slightly used but cleaned up real nice - they get filthy in a day anyways.

I wouldn't get the base version flaps. They are basically cutouts of floor mats haha. I would just pay the extra $50 for the nice ones

There are two options on the rear, a drilling option and a no-drilling option. I went with drilling option, so took off rear wheels too. I also used silicone for rust prevention where I drilled the holes. ****************** ****************** Details for Auto Account Outstanding principal balance -- $0.00 Amount financed --------------- $19,2**.** Interest Rate-------------------- 2.90% Original term (months) ------- 72 Contract date -------------- **/**/2009 Account closed date ------- 06/**/2015 Interest paid YTD ----------- $14.** Total interest paid -----------$1,7**.** Not too bad... |

Yeah LOL, a long loan,but good rate. I put the 7 year/ 100,000 mile Subaru warranty on there too though. The car was only something like $17,400.
My amp fried in dramatic fashion yesterday and I thought my car was going to catch on fire. That would have been ironic! POS MTX amp. They used to be good, back n the '90s. Now those amps are just Chinise crap. Oh well... |

Well I took some nice photos today of my car but NASIOC for some reason just will not let me upload the photos. I tried photobucket and flickr. Oh well. I guess I'll keep trying till I get them up.

I somehow was able to get photobucket to work.
Here's some pics from a little driveway shoot testing various settings. Btw, the front bumper damage is from a raccoon trying to cross the street without looking both ways. Last edited by 06subiesti555; 06-18-2015 at 08:19 PM. |

Damned racoons. Same thing happened to me. Was going 60mph at night and damn thing ran out and committed vehicular suicide. Nothing I could do.
Instead of replacing entire bumper with insurance money (they wanted to put a cheap chinese copy bumper on there), I just got a painted front lip and all the plastic brackets that broke and the tow-hook cover - and fixed it myself.. and then had tow-hook cover painted at a body shop. |

Came out very nice. The worst part about the raccoon incident for me was that it decided to commit suicide about a week after getting a new bumper, tow piece, and it freshly painted from an accident the previous owner was in. I was so butthurt that I just said screw it and that's how it still looks haha. |

My 2.5i is a 5MT with a WRX rear swaybar. It's not fast but it is nimble. Kind of an NC Miata type of feeling. |

I always like the Linear vs. Aero naming. I thought it was a very Saab distinction.

Literally could not have a different offset or wider tire at all, after my lowering job I had it loaded with gear and it sits about 1mm from the tire side wall when it tucks in the fender! Guess I could roll the rears if I wanted a wider offset. |

They look great man! That's what I have too, any bigger and you're just running way too thin of profile tires that you'll be replacing after every pothole
