IStoSTI's STI -- New exhaust post 744 - Page 24

lookin good.

you've got that "aggressive fitment" look down solid.

EDIT: when you lower the control arm with ball joint extenders and don't address the tie rod ends you get an issue with bump steer, that is fixed by new tie rod ends (which is available with the companies I listed, I have a feeling which one you'd go with.

). I'm not sure if Edo can source the full Z/S kit yet since it was just released in japan, but i'm sure they could work on it.

EDIT2: quick bump steer definition, The tendency of a vehicle to suddenly veer or swerve to one side when hitting a bump or dip in the road. (the car moving without you steering it b/c of hitting a bump).

ahhh got it. It rubs a little in the rear on the driver's side because it is lower due to
corner-weighting. I'm going to file down the inner fender a little more and then raise the
left rear about 1/8" to 3/8" inch

Front's not even rolled!

T3h_Clap · 01-20-2008, 04:24 PM

raising it will destroy the corner weight.

IStoSTI · 01-20-2008, 04:33 PM

i know it will, thats why i was going to try filing down the inner lip a little more first

RS's look good.

One step ahead of you!

Had them in before Thanksgiving. Doing an install on them later this week on my car, since I've already got the Roll Center adjusters on.

Looks like you painted the brembos and rotor hats. what paint did you use for the rotors? or where did you get red ones like that?

The Rally Armor UR Mudflaps would look hot your car. Rallyarmor UR Limited Series Rally Flaps as some call them.

Here is a pic (or 2):

To each his own? I guess?

Subaru's and mud flaps go together like milk and honey, or peas and carrots.

The car looks incredible! I remember the previous setup from the pics you had posted on LISC few months back. Great work
