XT Wheel/suspension mods:

The XT showed up all dirty, with the stock 16" wheels and suspension...



Soon I gave her a bath and I swapped the 16" for the 17" OBXT wheels that were on the X.



About a month later I got a sweet deal on some Swift springs already on OEM struts (Thanks SinginCanary), so with the help of Tre36, I installed them along with an STi 20mm rear swaybar, kartboy endlinks and Whiteline subframe locking bolts. Wow what a difference!



A little later I added a set of Mo-Boost LLWS to go with the STi sway bar, Whiteline subframe bolts and Kartboy endlinks.





Winter setup:

03 WRX 16" with 215/60/16 Hanhook i-Pike snow tires



3/27/08- added whiteline rear strut bar



7/2/08- switched to 18x8 Rota Tarmac 3 with 225/45/18 Continental Contiextremecontacts



7/18/08- replaced the front endlinks with Noltec solid endlinks.



9/20/08- replaced all 4 rotors and pads with RacingBrake slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads. Up front I stuck with the stock 294mm rotors, but in the back I went with the 290mm BBK, over the stock 266mm size.
