'17 configurator online

was online last night and saw that you can now spec your 2017s on the subaru website. not that there are tons of choices so functionality is a bit limited but it is there.

I don't see the front spoiler available. Also the web page likes to lock up.

Also sucks the STI wheels are 17" instead of 18".

There's no front lip at the moment, there seems to be a supplier issue so I'm sure it will come up later on, sooner than later

I might buy the sti skirts and lip when everything is available. They look nice.

Honestly for what you get with the performance package for 1200 bucks. You'd be stupid not to get it.

It does seem like a bargain but I honestly couldn't see the need for it in my case. I like the look of the standard wheels better and I'm not tracking the car so the Brembo's would be a waste. The standard suspension and brakes felt good enough to me on the test drive.

This is what it came down to for me also. I got caught in the hype of the PP then I realized I would never use it and I personally didn't like the PP wheels too much.

But it's a great deal for those of us that will be tracking the car and I love that Subaru has added a useful option this year.

Lol. I'm just saying. Brembos all around. Upgraded wheels and shocks for 1200? Sign me up.

If you don't like the wheels, Get the PP and trade wheels for someone's stock plus cash from them. For a DD, the brembos are just eye candy, still worth 1200.

Wish you could buy the PP for the previous years.

The stock wheels don't fit the brembo, they are too small, it's why the PP has a different size wheels . Just FYI

It's worth noting that the Brembos alone are almost $3K a side (at least in the one parts list I have seen posted). So $1200 is a crazy deal.

Not listed are the brake lines which have a different part number and different "high flow" description in the name but same price as the original stock brake lines.
