    I still think british black prodrives (any style) would match the silver nicely. It would be subtle if you're still looking for ideas. They are pretty good with black/white/gray/silver.

    That's an 09. But yes, those are the rims I'm hoping to end up with. (or very similar).

    The suspension work is going in next week... right Nate? :biggrin:

    Well, I went down to Nate's last night. We put on the STI pink springs, SPT H-brace, Perrin front and rear sway bars, Perrin front and rear end links and Whiteline rear sway braces.

    I'm trying to find a memory card reader for my dang microSD card. I'll try to get pictures up by this afternoon.

    More level and rides a ton better. I set the rear to medium (2 of 3) and the front to soft (1 of 2). Just had it aligned an hour ago. Very nice!

    Installed. Not a bad price considering all that went into it. Also considering there aren't too many options for the sedans.

    So where do you live..... I mean, where did you pick up your parts?:hsugh: Pretty much everything you bolted on is going into the FXT (minus springs) over the course of the summer.

    are you for real... all the stuff that would have any chance of affecting warranty was replaced by SUBARU parts.. the only things that arent are the perrin sways and end links... :rolleyes:

    I'm looking for more parts... not much for the GR. I'll probably do the short shifter and tint next. But then what?

    It is close, but it did drop. It was very noticable before, now it just sits level.

    Nice. I thought about painting it. If I do that, I'd probably color match it to the body or the plastic in the STI grill that I put on.​
