Finally had some time to unbox my other recent large purchase for the build.

Recently picked up a BNIB Wisefab rear kit. Wasn't exactly planning on this currently but was a good deal i couldn't pass up. The details on these knuckles are astounding. they weigh absolutely nothing. For those that dont know the specs on these. 40mm of drop is built into the knuckle. Adjusted camber and toe curves. Bumpsteer is adjustable. EVYERHTING is adjustable. the entire setup also drops 30lbs overall, which is nuts. Id wager most of it is in the knuckle.

So the stock ALCON/PRODRIVE calipers come with steel adaptor brackets, and they were just too damn heavy at 2.3 lbs each. I sent them to a friend of mine to get remade out of billet aluminum, because weight savings. The new brackets weigh .85 lbs each. Equals a savings of 1.5 lbs per side. ID say that was worth it.

I was also able to track down a STI Genome Oil pressure gauge. Normally these are sold as part of a set that comes with three gauges but i was somehow able to find the single oil pressure gauge by itself. Still need to track down a controller to run it. Believe i may have found a controller locally from a local subaru club member.

And lastly, being the OCD freak i am about details, i was able to track down an OEM button with a pictgram of a car to use for controlling the air cups.
