Major work happening this week. Fingers crossed it all goes well.

Where the car sits today. Home stretch!



Really tight clearance for the front wheels =D







I've updated the build with a brakes section for those interested.

Did you flip the bleeders on the front brakes?

They are on the top. so yes.


Looking good man. Great car. Achieving your OEM+ look with ease. My Brembos reflect off of other cars when I drive by...certainly do not have the stealth characteristics of yours.

Where did you get the sti rear control arms and how much were they? Do they allow adjustment of the camber?

For looks; don't like the extra material below. I'm use to driving low cars so I didn't really need the protection there. the lip itself is pretty flexible too.

Same place: Japanparts.com. cannot adjust camber with the control arms. they're mainly for the pillowball joints.

where did you get all of these STi parts? I thought Subaru is not releasing an STi model yet?

See his comment below yours. Most parts are from Japanparts.com under "BRZ". Some parts art shared from previous gens of the Impreza WRX STI, depending on how well you do your homework.
