Just quickly posting up photos of the rear lower control arm kit and the front bumpsteer kits I had installed the other week.
The front bump steer kit I feel has made a noticable improvement in the way the car handles. I have found it is a hell of a lot more composed and feels a lot flatter in the corners as well.
Yep!
correct +35 all round. I ordered the wheels on friday and they arrived lunch time wednesday, so 4 business days.
yeah I am. For the track day next week I am putting on some Dunlop Direzza D03g 235/40/18, but will put the nitto's back on once I am back home

if you can survive with a few more iphone snaps then yep!
thats the best i can do to show general fitment.
I walked back to my car today to find an impreza parked next me with a set of xxr's aswell!
not the best photos with the sun and angle but that last ones sort of also shows how the wheels fit on my car. I am currently running around 2 degrees camber as well at the back.

Hows the concave look of those 9.75's! Cool to see them side by side like that.
The +35 look heaps better, well done! How's the ride on the 225 tyres with the BC's?

I totally wish I could of snuck the 9.75" under our arches. I LOVE that concave look.
I personally don't mind the ride at all. Ive been running this setup (albeit on my other liberty for alot of the time with only 8" wide wheels) for nearly 19 months now so I'm used to it I guess. I love it really. But I am a fan of a harsher setup.
