Hey Jake did you end up doing the center trim?
Really like how it looks in that pic but it's the only one i could find.

I did. But I have no photos at the moment.

Cruisn was the brains behind it and here is his work:

Buy a roll off ebay for $10. More than enough to do anything you want inside the car.

Heres mine....

Install Day! STi Pinks & Billies, HD Rear sway bar mount, Selby 20mm Swaybar

Forgot to take a better pic of new ride height but you all know what it looks like anyway. I'm sure that will come.

Awesome stuff Jake and your car is coming along quite nicely and have you gone for a drive yet with the new suspension and swaybar? It should handle real good now

Went with Jay and co through Kinglake + Healsville tonight, AMAZING.

the suspension combined with the sway bar has made it a completely different car. Previously I had tried HARD to get the rear to 'flick' out and never been able to. Tonight...it was drift spec (okay so not really, but a great improvement)

Much more confident on those mountain roads now.

Anyone who is running stock suspension or stock rear sway-bar need to get their act together!

Next step is to get under the car again and check that the rear mounts are holding out, but I'm sure they are.

I always think about that. especially when the car rolls a little more than usual. i think its a psychiatric thing.

Glad to hear it and it gives the driver more confidence in the car and allows you to be less worried when having a go in the mountians

Also Jake has the height of the car dropped at all?

Yeah I can't fit my head between the wheel arch and tyre any more

I'd say it's given more than the 15mm drop, but hard to say. I'll have to measure it, but I'm pretty happy with new height.

Not a perfect angle, but here is idea:

I really like the new height it's perfect for every day and looks low at the same time
