I just picked this baby up last night. 2008 STI w/ BBS package in Aspen White. Obviously, we've got big plans for this car - but for now, here are some pictures :)









She's a little heavy... but I'll get that worked out.

Let me know what you all think. :)

that is a pretty good fitment.

did you roll the rear fenders at all?
 
#226 ·
Roll is putting it mildly :)

We had to roll the crap out of the front and rear to get this setup to fit w/o rubbing. Honestly the offset is too agressive and the ratio on the tires is a little tall, but it looks really nice.

Since we have already maxed out the fenders, in the future we'll be able to get some much wider wheels and tires in here with the proper offset.

I thought as much.

keep us posted when you decide to put on some Proper fitment :)

not really, the front of these cars still benefit greatly from a front sway bar.

plus front sway bars are AS legal where rear sways aren't.

Dan,

Car is looking amazing, I just installed your guys' TBE on my 08 yesterday and I love it! It's so subtle and conservative putting around town, but once opened up it's a nice healthy, deep tone. You guys don't happen to have a HM stage 2 95 octane AP map you can email, do ya? ;)

Looking forward to more updates to the journal,

-Marcus

Brett,

Have you got a turbo kit that would do justice to my STi?
