so decided to improve the handling of the car a bit better and I noticed the 2015 uses rear spherical bearings. I had a machine shop shave them down each side 1.5mm and made a spacer to take up the slack for pressing them in my lower suspension mount in the rear of my coil overs
locally I found a nice set of ES-Tarmac ENKEI wheels 5x100 16x8 et45 14lbs wheels, super light weight compared to my braid wheels  started to build the spare motor, Ej22T stock crank, 10mm oil pump, ACL bearings, Carrillo Rods, Wiseco pistons, cometic head gaskets, ARP Custom Age 625+, V9 STi heads, killer b pick up, and allot of new factory case bolts and plugs gaskets

so this is what else I'm working on at the moment along with the lower pillow ball bushing for my coil overs, I decided to get a one piece unit made so I can get rid of the rubber spacers and all that mess.. this is a prototype unit to test on the car then i can get them made up once it fits ok. black is 80s strut mount, green is coil over mount.. needs a bit more work to be perfect fit    also found the rear garnish in japan for my car, maybe ill put it on. to many holes to drill in a clean car.

Were you on RS25 before? Felt like I've seen this build before. Regardless it's still awesome and went through all the posts. Subbed for more!

next is the cnc control arm subaru 80's old meets subaru 2012 new moulded into one... cnc billet aluminium & anodized black, now I can add a pillow ball at the top mount like the front..   next project is cnc billet aluminium front control arms with pillow ball and 1' longer so I can get some larger cv axles to with stand the abuse I am about to put down. cv axles will be new age subaru length. |

so this is my rear top hats bolted up with spherical bearings.. the lower cups also have 2015 STi spherical bearings made buy subaru which I needed to make a spacer.
 I decide to get serious with my coil-overs to make this car handle like a top notch missile and I got the GR STi Ohlins road & track set.. I have to do two mod's to make them fit perfect which is the lower rear bushing mount will be made new with a STi spherical bearing and drill the front top plates to early subaru size like leone/gc8. my reactions from just holding the ohlins is how light weight they are WOW half the weight of my hsd..  like to thank jake @ ohlins usa for hooking me up with the extend clickers also !.. there on the way. |

I knew your billet top-mounts were destined for something greater. The ohlins are beautiful!
