Drooling at those pink trailing arms and lateral links...

The white STi stickers you mean?

STiLLWILL · 03-30-2004, 06:08 PM

LOL..the white STi stickers you see on the arms come with the kit and you have to put them on yourself.

Rev · 03-30-2004, 06:11 PM

Nice ... Hey, with those mods, are you still at 65% complete?

What about pics of your original STi front strut bar? I'd like to see some pics of it

STiLLWILL · 03-30-2004, 07:33 PM

Yeah still 65% complete until they're actually installed onto the car. :wink: Hopefully it will be at 100% by the end of Sunday. Yah I've been meaning to take some pictures of the real deal STi front and rear strut bars, but I haven't come around to. Trust me, I haven't forgotten about you man! I will take all the pics this Sunday.

Does that brace replace the factory unit or is there no brace to replace?

STiLLWILL · 03-31-2004, 12:36 AM

no brace to replace. :wink:

Congrats on the purchase, I hope to run the same setup sans coilovers. Let us know how it rides! And Thanks for the excellent pics, gives me something to drool over as I save up. Nice to see them better than the sorry thumbnails I always have to look at. V-Faq on the install? ^_^

Are you going to need new endlinks with the Cusco Rear sway bar?

CONECRUSHER · 03-31-2004, 11:12 AM

bump for reply about new end links to go with the Cusco sway bars

STiLLWILL · 03-31-2004, 04:50 PM

Thanks for all your compliments guys. I will take more pics as soon as the parts are on my car.

About the endlinks....
There has a been a significant buzz about our stock endlinks not being up to par when used with the Cusco adjustable swaybar. There are STi owners who have had the 'flipping' problem and/or the problem with a lot of extra lateral movement when the swaybar is installed. AT THE SAME TIME, HOWEVER, there have been MANY STi owners who have not had any problems whatsoever with running the stock endlinks in conjunction with the Cusco sway bar. IMO, I believe it is mostly a matter of an installation issue than a 'weak' endlink issue. Cusco is the #1 suspension parts manufacturer in Japan and nothing has been brought to attention to the U.S. Cusco vendors regarding Version 8 stock STi endlink problems with their swaybar. My buddy Myles at RaceComp Engineering could attest to this as well. With this in mind, I do not plan on purchasing new endlinks anytime soon...unless I encounter any problems that cannot be resolved with utilizing the stock endlinks. I will keep you guys up to date on how my stock endlinks are doing with the Cusco rear sway bar.

Thanks guys,
-Matt

***Nivek*** · 03-31-2004, 04:56 PM

Just got to say sweet, again!@

i WISH when I imported my parts from Japan I took a picture of all the thins laid out on the floor as you did. It is nice to have pictures of this stuff new before being installed on the car.

STiLLWILL · 03-31-2004, 05:30 PM

Thanks man...always appreciated! :wink:
