Nice wheels. 19s? Are you lowering it?

They're 18s.
And yeah, I'll be putting in some BC-BR Coilovers after the wheels go on.

Shit, was hoping I got in before you quoted!

hahah, when I submitted it, I saw that you edited it.

I haven't put the wheels on yet. Still need to get some tread.

I got them from Takuma in Melbourne. Ordered them online, they were delivered to my door in Sydney the next morning! Quick service, very nice.

I'll be getting some tyres either next week, or the week after.

Just an update!

Have my car booked in tomorrow to get my wheels fitted. I decided to go for Bridgestone MY02s - Budget wise, also I couldn't justify spending so much on S001s.. I'll see how these go, and if they're rubbish I'll find something else.

So yeah, I also added a first aid kit to my car because I did a first aid course and now I'm paranoid.

Considering swapping my mufflers out for WRX Quads, just to try something different.

Pictures of the wheels will be up tomorrow! Watch this space.

Yeah I know!

It needs so much more low.

Bear in mind that no one afaik has fitted STi sedan muffs successfully, yet. Maybe dle has done it...
If you do, keep the tips fairly flush with the body, staggered as the tips are quite short.
Also consider the stock STi sedan mid pipe as, if the width is correct regarding your cutouts, you won't need to get the muff inlets rejigged. Plus moar flow/noise over your stock Center. Hotdog vs resonator. It would sound pretty good IMHO.

Love it!

Nice mate. Just needs more camber and low now...

[Phoenix]

Just got my guards rolled by Nelson, at Sydney Guard Rolling. He travelled to my work and fixed up the car and did an absolutely brilliant job. Highly recommend his work.

How much are the cusco coils worth?

[bigBADbenny]

Those rims... What offset are they?
