08 sti updated..

Got some coilovers, and put my SSR's on it, im still waiting for my tires to come for my new wheels...let me know what ya think..










and heres before the wheels and drop...

 

Those wheels are way to small, I like the stocker's much better.

 

put some spacer or something. How wide are the ssrs?

 

in diameter? yes, they're 17x8.5 but they're light as hell and if i dont sell em i'll probably use them for autox.
I have new wheels like i said but i'm waiting for my tires to come and i wanted to see what it would be like with 17's..

spacers? lol, the ssr's stick out farther than the BBS' wheels do, my new wheels on the other hand which are 18x9 stick out too far..

 

They look like they tick in too much. What is the offset on them?

 

+40 i beleive...

I will be using spacers on my new wheels, but im waiting for my ARP wheel studs to come.

 

yea the tiny wheels need to go. granted they may be light but they make the car look pudgy imho. the 18s make the sti look wayyy more agressive

 

yes, i know, like i stated 2 times above, i put them on just to see what they look like, I have new wheels that are 18's but im waiting for my new tires.

 

On a white car, gold wheels are FTW!

Drop is too low as well. I like the 'before' pic much better.

 

^^i think you'll like the drop a bit more with some bigger wheels when he gets them on.

 

Yeah, maybe. It will raise the car a little off the ground, but it will also bury the tire further into the wheel well FTL.

I like the gold BBSs!

Otherwise, I am thoroughly jealous of his very nice white STI. The Rallyarmors look great on it!

*edit* I'm with Josh on the taillights. Maybe some red tint on those? Or just lose the red reflector on the side and use a red LED for a completely-clear look.

 

the "before" pic is stock suspension, I think lowered sti's like 1000x better

My new wheels are black, i have the gold bbs wheels so i figured i'd go black.

As for the tailight mod, i ordered a taillight film kit from harman motive, but it fit like ****, precut kits suck, so i have an appt to have them professionally done, along with tint.

 

Looks good imo. Not a huge fan of the 08's yet but this is by far one of the best looking ones i've seen.

 

wheels = Fail

 

you = fail at reading!

4th time, i just threw them on to see what it would look like!:laugh:

 

I dont know what everyone else is talking about man...

Your car looks GREAT. I like the low drop, which in most of the pictures looks lower because its in grass.

The 17's only look small because their backdropped against a white car, but again, I like them, its a good look. I'm such a huge fan of black wheels on white cars that I probably just am biased and our preferences are pretty similar.

I Like the look. Cant wait to see how you plan on "improving" it with the SSRs!!?

 

also, pretty sure I know what kind of car I'm going to be getting when I finally move back to MN.

Its going to be a subaru, white in color, and most likely be a hatch.

 

thanks, i've always had white sti's...and love them! and always with darker wheels.
I bought some Rays wheels for now, but i will be replacing those again with SSR Type F wheels.....but nobody seems to have them..

 

wow, those wheels are way too small, not sure if that's been mentioned yet or not.....

 

Nope, you're the first. I hope he's thought about getting some new wheels on there.

 

I like the car! Are you going to do anything with those rear taillights?

 

what the hell? car looks good, i would still be forced to do something with the tails personally

 

LOOKs good.

 

I liked the before pic... just add the RA flaps from the after, and it'd all make sense.

 

Car looks way dope!!! What are you doing with the factory wheels? For sale?

 

The more I see the 08s the more I like them. If you ever want to sell the stock golds send me a PM, I'm interested.

 

you must go pretty fast i see the bug spatter all over the front of your STI


Subaru = exterminator

 

wheels are not for sale... as for the taillights, as i stated before i ordered a taillight kit, but it fit like **** cuz it was precut, so i'll be having them professionally tinted all red soon here..

Thanks for the compliments!

anyone notice how the wheels are too small?

 

This and...when are you going to do something with those tail lights!

 

soon!!! but today i installed my Harman motive intake..




and i already installed a invidia downpipe awhile ago, not sure why it got discolored like this...prolly from the invidia emblem

 

and my basic stereo install... still gotta built the amp rack..

 

I love the wheels. but I might be with Jack in that biased White-on-black category......mmmmmmmmmmmmm


tint the windows/tails, and you've got one sexxxxxxxy car!!

 

car looks fantastic man

 

thanks for all the compliments....

more to add soon...

taillight tint is on, windows all tinted 20% and 50% on windshield..

 

I think those wheels need to be bigger, they're to small.:laugh::run::kekekaugh:

 

i like the drop and the small rims but i think u should look for some new taillights first of all lol.. nice car though

 

Heres the tails done:
From This:


To this:

 

way way better

 

the care is looking good. Cant wait to see the new wheels.

 

thanks, which set!

 

something something red reverse light ...

looks much better, though.

 

wow tons better.. awesome sti dude.. but bigger rims on that body would be a +

 

The stock gold wheels look much better IMO. I'm also probably one of the only people who like's the stock taillights as well.

I actually think a stock '08 STi, is perfect the way it is.

Expectally a white/gold combination:yumyum:
