Garage
New wheels + tires + camber bolts this weekend!
Sparco Assetto Gara 18x8 wheels
225/40R18 Michelin Pilot Super Sports
OEM Subaru Camber Bolts (which are identical to the bottom strut bolt, if anyone's curious)
Initial impressions: Car turns in much quicker and grip is unbelievable. Was cold and wet this morning on my way to work and car still seemed to have lots of grip. Getting an alignment after work today, so will update after that.

Also sound deadened the trunk and doors using some stuff I picked up from Lowes. Cost me $18 to do the trunk and another $18 to do both doors. The car is only slightly quieter, but completely rattle free and the stock speakers sound unbelievable. Still pulling things apart and fixing rattles as they pop up, but the car is already much more pleasant on long drives. I finally got the passenger side door 100% rattle free last night after almost a week of trial and error. Currently chasing a rattle in driver side B-pillar.


I also fixed my Kartboy rattles this weekend. I found that the stock washer between the retainer clip and the lever arm is not thick enough. I did not have a washer with a large enough hole that was thicker, so I did some drilling and ended up working perfectly. No more rattles at any RPM! Very pleased with how this turned out.


If anyone wants pictures of what I used for Sound deadening, let me know!
