Dave's Journal: MY07 Liberty GT Spec B STI

[smythie]

what's the date code on the sidewall of the tyres if you don't mind?

[GTSPECB STI]

2009 is the year but don't recall the rest

[smythie]

cool. I always worry about cheap tyres

They're pretty smooth springs hey, very linear and soaks up big bumps very competently without a jaw jarring ride.

like day and night over the pinks in my opinion and have done exactly as they claimed so far, bedding them in should see a little more drop but not really wanting much! Big thumbs up to Nick at Entra for sales and service.

Looks the business Dave.

Looks nice and clean. But give the tyres a once over with some cleaner.

Also, how's the swirls, camera's hid them SO easily in nice bright conditions. As an ex black Subaru owner, I've done all the same shots on a terribly swirly car and it can still look pristine.

Oh, and from your first post, I expected a ......... and this was after Motorvation (and a pic of your car wrapped around a pole or half written off )

[GTSPECB STI]

No swirls at all Craig, my guy is alot more than your run of the mill detailer, more a paint finish specialist. The pictures were taken before I had a chance to do the tyre shine. At Motorvation I spent a lot of time organising bbq, the coolroom, and getting quite pissed. Never even took it out for a run but a couple of the others members who were without rides took it out for some power cruise action with no incidents.

Update and feedback on the new springs and tyres installed last month.

The Swift Sport Springs and Bilstein combination is fantasic and I am loving it. Nicely settled in now and one finger gap in front and 1.5 finger gap in rear. No irritating bobble head issues like the sti pinks. No issues whatsoever with speedbump and curb clearance. The feel is fair more planted now. The P-Zero-Nero tyres have now come into their own after 2000 kms. Very firm walls, terrific response and traction even when just warm, once they are warm..wow! It has not rained in Perth in over 10 weeks so who cares how the handle the wet.

Anyone else considering just a lowering spring should really have a look the Swifts.

Dave, do you have some dyno charts with AFR and PSI/MAP? MAP presure is the thing I'm interested in, but AFR is also of great interest!

Looks good Dave! Glad to see you finally came to your senses and got rid of those pinks.
