1/28/13 - Still playing with the coilover height/ dampening / camber . Mounted up the wheels and MXP exhaust. We love the sound of the mxp exhaust.
We will also be testing out some other wheel fitment as well.

Just for fun and testing. We mounted wheels from our 04 sti onto the frs to see how it look.
This is a TE37SL 18x9.5 +22 5x100 225/40/18 Rear:  Front:  Looks like it would need alot of camber in the front to clear and the rear would need just a tad bit more. Again this is just for testing purposes, we wouldn't suggest this setup to anyone. Last edited by Speed Element; 01-29-2013 at 02:18 PM. |

^Good to see a proper retrofit being put on the car..
Too many people on here with the ghetto aftermarket HID kit installed into the Halogen housings. Eff You to all of you cheap pricks driving around and blinding the rest of us. Do what the OP did and get yourself a proper retro or buy a BRZ! |
