I have moved on

So I just recently purchased a 2015 WRX Sti Launch Edition...



And boy do I love this car! Don't get me wrong... I loved my FR-S as well.. if I could afford both.. I would have both! The snow this winter really made me think on replacing the FR-S. Sure I could have gotten Winter Tires for the snow but I think it would have been a little ridiculous having 3 sets of tires for this car and I live in an apartment with limited storage space. Any who, I will be selling my rims and tires, Invidia cat back n1 exhaust and rexspeed carbon fibre front lip. Since I am lazy as hell, you can go here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/138638592940090/ and see my posts.

Geez, i wouldn't call it a satisfied buy at all.

If you buy a brand new car and you flat out want to already want to do mods to alter the suspension or power, then you bought the wrong car.

Going for looks? Okay, i understand that.

But the people who order KW V3 before they even get the car really make me question if they are just following the crowd or have no idea what their doing.

Don't get me wrong, i want Blisten shocks and RCE springs, but i already know how my car is. I know its limits and all of its flaws.

I mean I did RCE Yellows because they behave and feel like stock until you take turns, and it gets rid of the wheel gap. So I guess I'm part of the group you understand.

Eh, springs aren't a big deal. Shocks? Those are a big deal if you ask me. That changes how a car behaves. Though POS ebay springs can do that too, ask me how i know.

You'll be here for a while, these stock struts seem really tough. I have yet to see a blow out from use on aftermarket springs yet.
They aren't like Honda OEM struts that blow out after 15K on aftermarket springs.

There's been a few, but they are the Eibach ones that lower it more than an inch, and some weren't installed properly. I love my set up now. Perfect for me, looks great, and feels stock during daily driving.
