Jezabel- SubaruFerrucci's STX FR-S build

I bought the car June 5 of 2012 with the intent of building it to be an STX car. That's why I went with the FR-S over the BRZ.

The first season of owning the car I was had no major mods planed. I purchased some used star specs from a friend of mine to use for the season and mounted them on some 17x8 RPF-1 that were left over from my previous car; a 05 WRX that was also STX prepped.



The second mod I did to the car was drive it down to Bel Air MD to some friends of mine at Agile Automotive where they said they wanted to prototype some parts on my car and dyno it.



They made me up a complete header back exhaust

Next mod that any STX car needs is coilovers.
I went with Fortune auto 510 from ft86speedfactory. I went with the fortune auto over the more popular KW V3 because the height is independently adjustable from the spring. Talking to Simmons who as the V3 they cant go as low as they want with out being on the bump stops.




I installed these things in less than 3 hours in my driveway the thrusday then over to my friends hows to do a DIY alignment that friday and drove the car to Hershey saturday to race it. Driving to the event the car felt amazing only time I noticed it was on coilovers was over hard bumps and even then compared to other coils I have had these still road better
