I'm not a fan of overt stickers such as that, or overly low cars, but I do like what you've done and those rims look good on that model. I think the ride height (visually) looks perfect at the moment.

Nice photographs too.

Thanks for the kind words Seg and Jack :) The ride height is suprisingly really good cause I dont scrape anything unless its a really steep entrance.
Also the ride is pretty stif but in the corners its worth it but it takes a little getting use to it, and with the rims i do like them but I think they are
one inch to small but maybe that justs me lol and with the ride height im not sure what i want to do cause at the moment I have no police trouble
but I feel is I drop it another inch then Im more likely too but I shall think on it :) if anyone has any more ideas of what I can do to my car please share :)

would you actually get in trouble from the police though?? is there a lower limit these days? i thought that was an old fashion law like in the 50's n shit?
but my suggestion would be more lower, roll the fenders, and stretch the tyres and add a tiny bit of camber to the rear wheels and loweeeeerrrrrr! :lol: :lol: but seriously do it...

hahaha :mrgreen: well the dough i had tucked away for lowered suspension was forcibly taken from me when my clutch blew in december. and he didn't even fix it properly! kinda pissed off. if anyone knows the problem can you please help? when the clutch get warm i.e traffic & long drives the clutch pedal starts to stick in. one time driving around for a parking space in moore park it completely stuck in for a good 10 seconds! i might post this as a new thread though... but yeah. thats why. also it means i can't park in my underground parking at work :D which I'm almost willing to sacrifice.

side note... if you get wider rims you have to flare the wheel arch as its illegal to have your wheels protruding the body. also stretched tyre are illegal... but i would risk a little stretch thats almost not noticeable to dumb cops (i don't dislike cops, i think cops are tops)

I have a tip re your transmission, get an auto box lol they suck but never ever have I had any issues with it and you can slam it up and down gears so its pretty good for an auto and I know what you mean about dough, I want rims so bad but if do I know I will have to get stretch tyres and rolled guards and that adds up to alot of money so im going to hold off for the moment and just lower it some more and see how it looks and maybe get some decent brake pads, any ideas? and same here i have no problem with police officers at all either :)

sorry buddy but i don't think i will ever go Auto in a subaru. there is way too much fun to be had in a manual. blown clutches are worth it imo.
when i get a muscle car in about 5 years i can deal with an auto then.
do you mean brake callipers? or defs pads? didn't you upgrade your rotors to slotted?
i was thinking i might powder coat my stock wheels black, what do you think? then lower it. until i can afford 100% Hellaflush

haha true true :) and I mean just the pads, and I got DBA 4000 series slotted rotors at the front which are really good :)
and I think changing the colour to black on your rims would increase the look of the size. And lower would be great
but do it right the first time unlike me :( BC is the best :)

Replace the clutch slave cylinder and hose.

It'd look stupid with stretched tyres and camber (you don't add camber to the wheels either).
They are 7" wheels, maybe if he had 9"+ and the car was ALOT lower, then he'd have to do that.

Thanks for ur suggestion, and I have decided to keep the wheels for the moment and to just lower it another 2 cms
or so and any pics of gen 3s would be good :)
