What part of WV did move to??? I noticed several WV references in the background of your pictures! Love the car!

I'm on stock shocks but the car is dropped 20mm with RCE springs. The sides are just something cheap off eBay. I really like the Sti ones and they'd go better with the car since it has the STI style lip and rear spats but I didn't wanna deal with more 3M double sided tape on my car. The spoiler is hassle enough.


I can't find where to buy the huge STI wing. Anyone have any leads?

Correcto.
1 million yen worth of bolt ons. Not unlike the TRD FRS, which is also pretty much pure bolt-ons.

Par for course with Toyota (see the TRD/Panasonic Celica, with windshield spoilers, skirt kits, exhaust, big wing, but the same 180hp base powerplant), but a bit surprising from Subaru.

For the tS not entirely just bolt ons, it replaces essentially the entire rear assembly: new rear subframe, control arms, axles, etc. areas of it are reinforced with larger/longer bolts, collars, etc. the ECU is retuned for its sport setting, etc.

Yeah. Pretty much. Like I said, it'd be the brz STI of engineers got drunk and let me decide what goes on it. Not much to get here

Right on. I'm out in Morgantown now. I like this place. Even met some FRS/BRZ owners here even though this is an awful place to own of these as your only car

Awesome!! I work in Morgantown!!

This is not my idea of an all weather car... LOL. But there are some awesome roads to drive on in this area!

Hopefully we'll see a change in the weather soon! :-)
