Been a long time reader of this forum and finally my car is I hope good enough to post here. Any comments welcome!
Will, I must say your car is very nicely done.
I bet all the whiteline products are way cheaper since you are in Australia ;p I'm also really jealous that your model 2.5i (rs) got the premium Wrx bumper AND the STI lip too! Quick question, did you notice a big difference with the anti lift kit? I have it sitting in my garage but won't be putting it on for a while haha.

We actually pay more I think, much lower demand in Australia. I see on ebay in the US you pay less than we do here, and also the shops here try to add their own little profit. Australia is one of the most expensive countries to live in terms of cost unfortunately.

The lip is a CS Style lip actually, I just put the STI sticker on Looks legit though.

The Anti-lift kit I installed with the coilovers together, there was significantly lower nose dive and much more front grip during cornering elimiating the understeer as well as quicker response from steering feel; but I am not sure if that has more to do with the coilovers, or the Anti lift kit or both working well together. If you lower your car, the Anti lift kit is one of the things you have to do as well, otherwise steering will be too numb from the lowered ride height. The added 0.5 castor regardless of if you have any coilovers or not is an added bonus as it will improve steering feel and turn in.

Wow I honestly had no idea then hah.
Well then you are very good at making that lip look real! Haha. Okay thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. All things said, I can't wait to get my suspension! I finally ordered some konis the other day!!

Yes! I love them! <3 I got them powder coated the same as my XXRs, because I loved the color so much, but it looks like it came out differently... Maybe because the bigger spokes. But either way, I love them so much more!!

Be careful with goo gone though!! That stuff is extremely powerful. It'll melt plastic.
