Teaser pic from this weekend's shot. Still a couple more pictures to process, I believe. Will update when I get more.

That picture and your car look amazing (LOVE the wheels).

Those springs look like they are slammed coilovers, that is crazy. I have the Yellows and my drop is much more mild than that...
I'm not knocking the looks but I thought that Subarus had a point where lowering was too low, is the '08 different?

Not really sure, these are the lowest springs that Race Comp will be offering for the 08s. They're going to be selling another set that offers similar handling but less of a drop.

They're pretty slammed but when I was driving on stockers to get the Volks put back on, there were no rubbing issues whatsoever.

Will post up more pics as I get em from my buddy. For now, here's a shot without the railing, looks a bit cleaner.

Impressive pictures! Did you have to get up on the sidewalk again?

Car looks damn good with the Volks and drop

Yes, I did. We took another shot there aside from that one, and then another one back at my buddy's house.

I'll probably be getting gold CE28Ns or gold GT-Ns, depending on price. I've got a friend who can get em for wholesale price and wants to buy em and trade for mine!

I love gold CE's on white STi's but your setup is pretty damn unique as it is right now so I would say not to do it. With all the white on gold RS' your car will look similar to those and not to mention, yours is only the 2nd STi that I have EVER seen on TE37's (the only '08)! But it is your car and you can't go wrong either way.

I've always wanted CE28Ns, even before I had my 05 STI. They're like my dream rims, but I have to admit the TE37s are easy to clean and very nice looking on the car. I just wouldn't mind going gold at all.
