Bought them used and frozen but the fronts were fine and have been installed for a few weeks. I love them but the ride is WAY stiffer than stock, it doesn't bother me at all but I couldn't imagine a lot of people not liking it. But!!! ISC does custom spring rates for free so you could choose a "soft" set up with height adjustability.

Ah ok - Looking at these and BC's with Swifts... still leaning to the BC's because of all the good reviews on the Swift springs.

Would the 08WRX side skirts and rear spats fit our cars? I think we might have to drill some holes but we can make it work! I might do it!!!!

well it isnt a priority to me either! hahah til a few days ago i was done putting money in my car, i was just going to call it what it is. a 2.5i not turbo that looks fast but never will be! hahahaha and with me in school there is just no money left. i really really wanted a 2012 STI. but after thinking about it for a long time, and looking at what my car is worth right now. the sti wont happen. so looks like i'm keeping my subie for the long haul!!! so i guess i can at least make it look the way i want it to, or have some fun with it!! hahah

Has anyone had experience with Drag DR-33 wheels? Found some for a good price and was wondering if it's worth it.

I detail cars. It is a collection of products to bring out the ultimate end product. For starters, get a good car shampoo. Use the two bucket method and get some quality wax.

I painted these wheels yesterday, OEM 05 OBS alloys. After sand blasting, I noticed a crack along the whole length of one spoke on one wheel. So for the time being I only painted 3. Paint is a dark grey metallic. It's hard to capture in the pics but the metallic pops like crazy! It was unreal after I laid the clear coat.

Bare sand blasted wheels:



Primerized wheels:



Final product:
