Very nice shoes man......how are you liking the feel of the 18's?

sea-scooby · 07-02-2008, 06:34 PM

I've only drive about 2 miles with them, with a load of wheels/tires in the back and it up hill the whole whole way so I haven't really got to try them out yet. They seem to ride very smooth, and I didn't notice any noise increase so far either.

hey, when you did the 1/4" HDPE spacer, did you extend the bolt pieces on the top-hats?

which exact piece did you get? ..:::PARANOID FABRICATIONS:::...

if anything, i want the rear to look a tad higher than the front.

o, and i'd love to see your wheels in black.

lilFORESTer · 07-02-2008, 07:02 PM

I know he didn't extend the studs, I helped him and Duc do the swap.

I used 1/4" HDPE spacers for the 02/03 Impreza. I believe the 04/05 ones would work just fine too. Even with my rear strut bar, the stock tophat bolts were long enough. If you don't use a strut bar, you could probably use the 1/2" thick ones.

New wheels look REAL good! I really like the lighter colored rims on CGM. I think a gunmetal might look better on PSM, and had originally thought that for CGM too; but I think I like the lighter look better.

Thanks! I'll try to get better pix soon, but you can also see them in person in a week.

I love the T3s!

I think they are a much better match than the Outback wheels given the sporty look of your scoop/tint/spoiler/swifts.

o, yeah.. i forgot i need to accomodate for a rear strut bar too. good to know you didn't have to change them out.

thanks!

I finally got my new front endlinks installed! They are Noltec solid endlinks and they are a HUGE improvement. The front feels much tighter in the corners now.

sea-scooby · 08-17-2008, 02:04 PM

Over the weekend I added the SPT battery tie down, oil cap and the Subtle solutions splitter.

Next up in an 06 STi e-brake handle with red stitching.

sea-scooby · 08-17-2008, 03:12 PM

Just installed my 06 STi e-brake lever. It was a pretty easy swap!
