19's are gone and never coming back. Please forgive me for that =) Coming from corvettes I didn't know much the 19's would absolutely ruin the handling of the vehicle. These new Rays are 16 pounds each. Alot better than 28 pounds each for the AXIS wheels for sure. The car handles and drives how it should now. =) I plan on possibly changing the color on the new wheels to gunmetal or black but the standard color is growing on me a little!

Swaybars and T2 Coilovers are what I plan to buy next.

Congrats on the 07 and good start for your journal. Good to hear you'll be doing sways and coilovers....I also have the T2's. Any plans to do some autox events? Goals for the car?

I do plan on taking the car to harmon motive here locally in CA for motor work in the future, but im really addicted to making the car handle it's best first

I do plan on autocrossing the car often once the next step is complete. Im a rookie but have been racing roadcourses for awhile so I should be fine it's a nice transition and a new challenge I am new to autocross, but feel with practice and the RIGHT parts I choose from research and feedback that I will have a very capable platform with tremendous potential from what I've read =)

The way the car handles, the adjustable diffs for drivetrain tuning per course, the features and amount of fun this STi gives back to the driver, im not missing my corvette at all right now
