awesome thanks for the info because i was thinking of going 17x9 et 35 with 245/40/17, but i like the look of the 255's better and i am sure they would be better in terms of handling vs the 245's and from researching this morning they are slightly cheaper lol but a tiny amount less poke in the rear would be ideal for me still love what youve done with this and will be looking for more updates

No problem! Thank you, appreciate it! The poke in the rear is tad much and I rubbed like crazy on bumps and hard cornering. Still waiting on my custom lateral links to be done so I can get all my camber sorted out as well. |

my concern seeing your set up was the wheel rubbing the strut, but well see what happens ill be around you height when i lower mine and will adjust accordingly, my focus is handling and cornering with that setup i went with hardrace for my lateral links and trailing arms and if you havent ordered those parts yet i would suggest looking into them ive used hard race on my old ek and with quality and price i was quiet impressed

Lol yeah I'm slowly replacing all of the suspension bits. Going to start doing some autox/track days here and there so I want it to look good yet maintain functionality. We'll see how it turns out with a fresh alignment and lateral links |

Waiting on parts but in the mean time, I added a little more negative front camber, SR48 Muteki Lugs, and a Yakima Skybox |

Decided to switch out my Aspec blast pipes for a Speed Factory turndown muffler. Couldn’t be any happier.

Looking good as always! Still can't believe you fit those wheels with a spacer. I'm struggling to fit my wheels that seem less aggressive!

Thanks everyone! I did have a Spec-C vent but sold it to pay for some other more pressing things to tighten up the loose ends before a mountain trip but I 100% plan on getting another one in the very near future.

Awesome photography and cleann RS.
Really like the direction you're going with the car. US129 and the surrounding area is always epic for drives. I try and make it out that way as much as I can. |

Pictures below!
I’ve been slacking on here lately. Over the last month or so my car has been under the knife getting some changes done. Since getting a warehouse/office space with @projectpriime I’ve been seeing more and learning more about vehicle wraps and the positives and negatives. My paint was in pretty rough shape believe it or not. News flash, anything can look great over Instagram. I had swirl marks everywhere, dents, and a bunch of imperfections. To get a proper detail it was a lot of money... a lot of money. One day I traded my RS hood for a silver WRX hood which is how all of this started. I talked to the guys about wrapping my hood black temporarily until I decide to paint it and/or wrap the whole car. We talked and I came to the realization that a full vehicle wrap was the route I needed to take if I wanted my car to truly start looking better. I personally am not the biggest fan of wraps. When I hear about or see a wrap, I immediately think of an “internet build” - crazy flashy color, 3 piece wheels, bags, etc. I’m not hating... it’s just not my taste. We settled on the @averydennison Gloss White. White goes with any color wheels and looks so good all the time. I learned about the benefits of wrap and the negatives (honestly not really any negatives). I told the guys they could take their time with the car since they have a crazy busy schedule shooting commercials, event coverage, etc. Here we are over a month later. The depth and color looks just like paint without the headaches of owning a freshly painted car. I could not be happier. During the wrap I ended up swapping out my red Recaro seats for one Bride Zeta 2 as well. I was really itching for a fixed back and have heard great things from fellow Zeta 2 owners. I also had the rear half cage and Hella horns powder coated a silver diamond which is perfect to accommodate the white. I also sold my SBC Enkei RPF1s and just ordered new wheels through @thomsonsss at @systemmotorsports which should be here in a month or so. So excited for this change. Still so much to do before the big Tail of the Dragon trip as well as Simply Clean and/or Subaru Mega Meet. Huge thanks to everyone who has been involved***10084;***65039; |
