    I saw a thread on NASIOC like this. So I figured why not get one started on WRXATL? Post a pic and a description of your ride's wheel/suspension set-up!

    For Go, or for Show!

    Maybe something like:

    Rims: Brand, Size
    Tires: Brand, Size
    Springs/Struts: Brand, Current Adjustments
    etc.

    Maybe a little comment on how your vehicle handles and how satisfied you are with the setting.

    The title "Show off" kinda deters me, I like functional to what I need at the moment and think is necessary.

    18x8.5 Stock BBS
    245/40/18 Goodyear F1 A/S UHP
    RCE Yellows (25mmF/22mmR perrin bars on stiffest)

    Fast enough to be enjoyable. Great feel on the daily drive.

    I'll play even though it is nothing really special.

    Rims: XXR 527 Flat Black 18x8.75
    Tires: Hankook Ventus V12 255/35
    Springs/Struts: Currently stock with a kick ass alignment from AllPro. Contemplating the Bilstein/RCE combo currently. Lowers 15mm but more about function than stance.

    Let me take you for a drive and let you decide, nice try

    Plan on washing/waxing it this weekend, I'll take a pic. Lowers only slightly, but enough for people to look at it and realize it is not stock. BTW like the edit to the first post

    WRX3 by G-WRX, on Flickr

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Prodrive Springs on Stock Struts
    Cobb Rear Sway Bar (don't know the diameter)
    Rota Tarmac 1's Powdercoated Black 17x7.5 5x100
    Bridgestone Potenza 245/45/17

    Comments: The rear sway bar makes the car so much more responsive. I plan on putting a FSB on sometime soon.
    As far as the spring/strut combo. It's a nice ride. Not stiff, but still has performance benefits. I am replacing these
    with BC coilovers soon. As far as the Bridgestone Potenzas, amazing tires. They are quite expensive, but they ride
    extremely well. I would say that this is easily the best set of tires I've had.

    225/40/18 Nitto something or another
    tein shitty techs on tokico d-specs. not too shabby of a ride even though the s-techs are way soft.

    i still need to install the bc coilovers i bought from brandon...last summer

    [​IMG]

    18-8.5 +46 with a 3mm spacer 5zigen 520's
    245-45-18 hancook s1 evo
    swift springs on stock struts

    way too soft of a spring rate, it scrubs the inner tire side on hard compressions.
    eventually if i ever get around to installing the bc's on the blue wagon, the fozzy will get the d-specs

    Negative...the local zip file attachment will not display as an image. To use the IMG tags you need to have the files hosted somewhere online, such as flikr, picasa, photobucket, imgur, etc.

    Go to www.photobucket.com, make a new account if you don't have one, and upload the image from your computer.

    Once the image is uploaded, go to your album, which there should be a link to it on the top of the page, and copy the IMG code from the picture. Highlight the picture with your mouse and it will show you 3 choices of links to choose from.
