After 4 years of ownership, I finally made some more substantial modifications. Bought some RCE SS-1 coilovers locally and paired them with some SPC RLCAs. Alignment isn't done yet and is schedule for a week from now. Old wheels and tires are back on for now. New wheels are the Apex Arc-8 in 17x9, 245/40/17 A052's.

I've modified Subarus for 15+ years now, but I've never owned coilovers. Setting the ride height is turning out to be a pain. The front was more or less maxed out and sits about at stock height. I was adjusting by hand and that some point in raising it in the rear I couldn't get any more turns out of it without a spanner wrench, which I need to go buy. I'm trying to get it only about 20mm lower than stock ride height.

The driver's side rear seems to be sitting 1/2 inch lower than the passenger side despite being threaded up a good inch more than the other side. I'm going to redo the rears to see what's going on there.
