Well I think they improve the tightness of the ride no end.

The stiffness is slighty harder than stock but not back breaking or choppy!

Coilies are OK but if your not going to fiddle with the height then I personally wouldn't bother, not for road use anyway.

Yeah the missus drives like a maniac! Even Xenon blasts drivers that pi** her off  :signLOL:

So little update, nothing major has happened recently due to being off on holiday for two weeks and th car came with me  :driver:

Only update before going was finally fixing the larger rear axle cover in place, which involved some exhaust wrap and heat shield and I have to say resulted in a few cable ties t the rear arb  :ashamed: but it will be properly re-afixed soon. (no pics of this)

And some new plates with GB symbol and a subtle logo  :wink:



Now some pic whoring of the car from the trip, nothing too amazing but its my thread so what the hell!  :P


at Millau Viaduct (Aire)




and on site


Now for the next update, before going on holiday I picked these up from a fellow forumite, he kindly re-painted them for me but the finish hasn't come out perfect with one or two bare patches and its not got a particularly gloss finish.  The transfer pipes also need swapping over, but I cant decide if I should just run them as are or get them fully refurbished?







What are people thoughts?  If its a refurb then they will have to wait until I have more funds before fitting.....  :chicken:

id try and refurb them better than that yourself to be honest. Take your time, read some google threads, loads from subaru forums etc about refurbing brembos  :happy2:

Richn83:
