I must say I was pretty impressed with how well this car handled the snow. I'm typically on the road before the plow trucks in the morning and never had an issue. I would typically even leave early on snow days to take the long way :thumbup:

Custom Wedssport TC105n wheels from @Evasive Motorsports. Their service was top notch. I ordered the wheels in early January expecting to wait awhile. Ordered them on a Wednesday and they had them powder coated and on my door step by the following Thursday.

17x9 +35 / 17x8 +42 staggered setup

17x8 on the left and 17x9 on the right

RCE yellows, sways, and poly bushings.

RCE front sway bar vs. stock.

I never really noticed the body roll on this car until the RCE sways went on. Wow what a difference. The spring and sway combo is awesome and it's always nice to have the added adjustability.

This pic is was taken right after the car was taken off the lift so the springs aren't fully settled yet.

The springs and sways were a quick and easy install, but man the poly bushings can be a pain in the a**. Found myself running to the lathe a few times to make tools for pressing them out. Wouldn't recommend attempting to do the bushings in your driveway and without a press.

I was only able to get -1.3 degrees camber up front with the crash bolts so I will switching to camber plates in the near future. The TiC ones are calling my name.

I know you drive the subbie which isn't as tail happy, but with the new tires on there do you notice it is harder to rip the tail loose? I honestly have not bought better tires because I like how much it slides now.

My car is very balanced and now has A LOT of grip. I usually have my rear sway bar set to soft, but with it set at full stiff the car becomes very tail happy (even more so than stock). I will be playing with adjustments more over the next few weeks.
