As an FYI for anyone looking at going this route, there are 12 holes for the Aero kit wing, and it has a wire harness running through from end to end - it's a serious piece of kit I'm getting the bootlid welded and repainted, but was budgeting for that anyway.

So keep that in mind.

As to lowering - the bodykit reduces clearance a little though no scrapes yet, either TRD, STI or RCE springs are on the agenda.

King springs will soon have 30mm lowered springs. Roughly $300 for all four.

That looks mad!

Hmm, interesting option - I'm not keen to lower it too much (all of the info I've seen say 15-20mm is good with the standard geometry without negatively affected handling), and with the body kit there's clearance to consider.

The car is certainly compliant enough out of the box, and that makes a difference for a primarily DD with some track rather than the other way round.

If you want to spend a little more coin you can get adjustable Japanese coilovers. Choose your ride height and stiffen up the shocks when you get to the track. Just don't get anything stiffer than 6kg springs. I have 5kg springs and don't think I'd want to go much firmer.

maybe check out the MCA coilovers. their blue series is pretty affordable.

but good work your car looks awesome
keep it up

[MarkMash]

looks awesome mate - tastefully done!!

Nice dude nice.

Great colour choice

Sweet ! I like the TRD kit but not a fan of their rear skirt - the angles don't look right. Ideally TRD would release a version as it stands plus another 50-100kW of power with the obligatory boxer turbo burble !

Keith - Looks GREAT man!!!
Good tos ee that wing on!! Believe it or not mine still isn't done.............. Don't start me on that!!
Who fitted yours dude?

[MarkMash]

yeah was just going to ask, who did you get to fit the spoiler?

After my painter having my spoiler for the better part of 2 months, I am losing faith.....
