Any difference in feel, harshness and handling?

Is it the "standard" drop that springs like this get? 3/4 to 1 inch or so? Not that I'm expecting you to have measured it to the nearest 1/4 inch just curious by eyeball what it looks like.

Slightly firmer but ride quality is still good and close to stock. Passed the wife test.

The precision is very much appreciated

I'm actually glad to hear that its less of a drop than the typical lowering springs. I want stiffer, but not much of a drop since I already struggle with ground clearance in the winter. The price is a little steep though. Either way, thanks for the info!

Car looks really good. The STi parts aero bits keep growing on me.

Thank you! Much appreciated.

Here are some from the backside; I’m tempted to get the carbon wing but not sure whether it will be overkill.

Personally, I think any wing is going to ruin to the clean look you've come up with here. The black/white contrast with the duck tail also looks really good.

What catback do you have? Love the tips. I thought I wanted the AWE Touring when my '23 gets here, but many seem to have reported it's still pretty loud.

Thank you, for your feedback and input. The exhaust is the STI performance muffler. Pretty quite but sounds great when getting on it and at start up.

You have the build I am trying for, but can't afford yet

And _thankyou_ for confirming that the existing tower bar fits. Was wondering, and now I can buy

Notice you have the performance muffler as well, those tips are the best looking I've seen for the car bar none - just wish it didn't cost so damn much!

Did you also get the short shifter kit + the sti knob?

I'm not keen on the body kit side (though if I had white like you I would def consider it as it looks very good), but I am interested in getting the GR chassis brace kit + door stabiliser to maximise the twins 'factory' improvements stuff.

I'm waiting a little to see if STI release the same new shock that GR already have, you said you are using STI springs so I can only assume you are talking about the OG cars part?

Also, wondering if anyway knows if the OG STI big brake kit works... Or perhaps they will release a new one. Hmm.

Anyway, great car.

No problem, my opinion is worth exactly what you paid for it.

This is what I did on one of my old E30 builds, we use to call it OEM+. And I think that's what you've got here and it's awesome. I like really like the white/black contrast and NO tinted windows. I think super dark tinted windows ruins the looks of so many cars, again, just my opinion.

Since I'm planning on doing one of the black Titan wheels, I'm thinking of going for the same red/black type of color scheme.

Now if the damn thing would just get here!
