Strut bar definitely looks neat, so does the push to start button and the battery tie down !

I have my cusco bar, I have the STi push start. battery tie down...hmmm. May have to wait on that to make sure my new battery in the car will support it. The battery that came with the car died while I am away.

I have the set. Front strut tower bar with master cylinder brace and rear strut bar both by Cusco. They are great products. A little on the pricey side but that is Cusco for you. I got the carbon wrapped ones that area intend gun-metal. Did not want the blue on my car.

Officially ordered my SSR GTV01 18x8.5 +44 wheels in black! Now just to get a set of springs and get home this summer. Cannot wait to get home and put these beautiful wheels on! Going to be updating this thread I believe, make it a little more organized. Maybe start a new one.

I cannot stop looking at them! I love the stamped SSR logo on the wheel lip!

Should definitely fit real nice with the STi pink springs that are on their way. Decided on those over the Eibach from the pics I have seen on the drop. More subtle drop and closes the gap just enough on 18s.

Yup! I had to do it, they have been calling me. The yen has been fluctuating so much I had to get them while it was low.

Yeah that is the plan. The drop is minimal and they are designed to work with stock struts. I did think about some Koni's for sure though. Decided not to make the ride too harsh.

Your car is amazing!!! I have a SWP going almost the same route as you hahaha only differences with the exterior will probably be the wheels... am running some Volk CE28N in matte black 18x8.5 +44 too!
