i tried to clean it up with a razor blade, took a photo. then i used a cleaner cone bit and then painted it so the finished product is much cleaner. i just never took another photo after the fact.

I ordered my wheels too, I know how you feel. What you end up getting? PM me if its top secret lol

as stated before, finally got the suspension and wheels on and taken care of. pictures to follow.

big thanks to @AZP Installs wouldn't trust anyone else. if you need anything at all, give them a call!

here is the install:

notice the conical washer, its a must to install this correctly with the whiteline Com C's



setting up the front:



setting up the rear, FYI stock 08+ STi rear top hats work perfect. i'm running 2011 top hats in the rear.



with the whiteline top hats we were able to max out the camber at -3.2 in the front. obviously you DO NOT need that much, but its nice to know you can get that much. we left it at -1.8.



and these are the Cusco adjustable rear lower control arms VS stock.



waiting to go on:



buttoning the rear up:



initial alignment, just to set it until it settles. -1.4 camber was set in the rear with slight toe in.





My impressions on the V3's. well i'm in love. car is so planted, there is no roll but the ride is plush on the street. its not jarring like my STi was over bumps, it just eats up the crap jersey roads. it soft but then when you push it, everything is tight, hard and the feel is excellent.

and now for the good stuff.

18x9.5 +40 semi gloss black Rays Gramlights 57xtreme
265/35/18 Bridgestone Potenza RE-11

right now its -2 camber all around, but i think its a bit much, so once it settles some more i'll be taking some rear camber out for sure.

been driving all day and the car is a handling monster now. needless to say on the twisty roads these guys were having a tough time keeping up





















to be continued...

Car looks great! Where did you pick up the STi rear top hats? I need to find an alternate solution while waiting on the whiteline LCAs to arrive in the US.
