The down pipe? :P

I also got these yesterday tires are Federal SS595 225/40ZR18. 22 mm front sway bar and 24 mm rear sway bar. Tires will go on sometime this week and am doing the sways next Saturday. It's going to feel like a whole new car between those mods and the stage 2 tune. Can't wait :D

And then I blew a strut (no pics at the moment)... so I'm on the hunt for some struts/springs/top hats.

And these came in the mail today...

<<<<<< Wants your new wheels...:drooling:

[THE EDJ]

Well, I found a set of V7 STi struts from a sedan and decided to pull the trigger. This was the first major suspension mod I've ever done and learned a lot through the whole process and am pleased with the results.

I used Eibach camber bolts to deal with the change in geometry of having sedan struts in a wagon. I wouldn't recommend camber bolts period as they are a huge pain to work with. At some point I will get some CC plates and do it properly.

Old suspension cleared out...

Re-greasing the inserts...

Unfortunately I haven't taken a photo since the suspension has settled and figured itself out.

Went and got an alignment...
Camber Initial Final
FL - -1.38
FR - -1.52
RL - -0.78
RR - -1.24

I'm also gearing up for Auto-X season. Tires should be mounted by the end of this week and if the stupid snow ever screws off they will be on the car this weekend. Very excited to drive on a good set of tires and new suspension.

I did my brakes a little while ago. Hawk HPS pads, Napa Premium rotors, and fluid flush with Motul DOT 5.1. They work much better than whatever else was in there before.

Made it out to an auto-x event and learned a lot. Finished middle of the pack and had a lot of fun. Looking forward to winter, hoping to co-drive a friends car for some rally-x.
