Default Back in an STi

Pretty cool idea for a forum category!

After a brief hiatus, the wife and I have purchased another STi. Not a lot done just yet. Here are the details so far:

2005 CGM STi

JDM Fogs
SPT Cat-Back
SPT Short Shifter
Tein S-Tech Springs
Kartboy F&R Shifter Bushings
SPT U-Brace
Whiteline Roll Center Kit
Whiteline Anti-Lift Kit
Whiteline Adjustable Rear Lateral Links
Random Perrin hoses / turbo inlet
TSX Hi-Perf MBC
'07 rear seat w/ pass-through
Black carpet
Cleared headlights
5% tint

We'll be doing more here and there, but probably want to keep it fairly tame as we already have a project car (also pictured in this thread).

Brief history: This car is our 7th Subaru (5th Impreza; 2nd STi). I traded in my '04 STi to build the Forester a year ago. My wife really wanted another STi so we just traded her '05 LGT LTD in on this puppy.

Congrats!!
Have fun riding on the tein-s. I also just pick up an 05 STi P.S.M. It had the same springs, they did not last 2 weeks before I got rid of them.

Before and after with Prodrive springs and v-limited lip.

Yeah, I didn't particularly want Teins, but they were on the car (along with everything else on the list). The roll center kit makes a ton of difference as far as handling with Teins is concerned, but they are ROUGH. And in Colorado, there's no ignoring that. My FXT isn't much better (on STi struts with Eibach Pros).

Who knows, we may have to chage to Eibach or Prodrive on the STi eventually. You know how it is... its never complete.
