a stage 2 sti wakes up dramatically. i want to see you guys do it again with mods!
The 11+ STI models don't have the soft suspension you're thinking about (you're thinking 08-10). Also the stock Dunlop's on the GR STI's may not be competitive with other tires in the extreme performance category (Star Specs, AD08s, RS3s), but are so much better than the "Lexani" tires the OP is on, it's not even worth comparing.

The STI driver has no excuse for losing.
