Not really new.. just never post. Figured I'd throw some old pictures out here. Dunno why in some of the shots the rear tires look poky.... when you're standing next to the car looking down on them, you can't see any tire ssh: Anyway, hope you enjoy. So far, HKS turbo back Exhaust & K&N are the only ''go fast'' mods. I'll be ordering a COBB V2 Access port soon - And that'll be it. No more flame throwing bumper melting for me... even though it'll probably still do it. Suspension/wheel/tire specs: Eibach "Pro-Street" Basically KW Struts/Eibach Springs using Group-N top hats (Coilovers) Work Emotion 17x9 +44 255/40 Falken FK452 tires Rear fenders are rolled, no rubbing front or rear. I'll be putting sway bars on next. Haven't decided on anything except that they'll be solid not hollow.. don't know what diameter yet. Still reading up and trying to figure out the best daily driver/mountain warrior application. Steel Braided lines are on the way for the brakes, and some better pads. Stock stuff last a long time.. I've had 4 Subaru's, this is by far my favorite. Leather w/heated seats is the way to go Future plans, not much really... possible replica v-limited lip, or was thinking about going the rally innovations route w/some nasty Hella lights.. dunno. Not planning on lowering the car, b/c I'm tired of it.. all my past Subaru's have been pretty much slammed, and I like the way this handles/feels a shit ton more. I'm also having a custom axel back made to get rid of the can, if anyone is interested in the HKS shoot me a pm and I'll let you know when its available - might get rid of the entire cat-back. Also have a nice set of Rota P1's I'd like to trade for some 5x100 STi BBS take offs. see HERE
Thanks guys - I live 'sorta' in the country, this place is down the street from me, the guy raises race horses and has cattle in the field adjacent to his house. I went and talked to him while I was there, and asked permission to take some pictures in his driveway next time.. its lined w/trees and is a super long drive way. Might do that when I get back in town next week.
holy hell that is a lot of rubber under those fenders got any more details about your struts/springs? spring rates, etc?
I don't remember the rates off hand, I've got it in my paper work somewhere. I got this b/c i wanted something simple and tough. The springs are progressive - fronts have a helper spring, rear has the taper coil. They ride very smooth, not too stiff, not too soft. Very good for DD or doing the mountain/weekend warrior stuff. I don't care about having 43984 way adjustable coilovers - so I went w/these. Second choice was 04' STI struts w/RCE "Yellow's" and the Group-N tops. Decide these w/the stainless steel body and ride height adjustment would suit me better.
heres the generic tire rack listing for the suspension: Eibach Pro-Street edit: the ones pictured are similar, but not the same. I think the "S" is the lower end model... not sure. Obviously the ones picture do not have the helper spring.. not that thats a huge deal, but w/e. KW Makes the struts for Eibach and are stamped w/KW of Germany (also another reason i went w/these)
