It arrived first. I ordered both, with the intention of taking whichever is here earlier. The dealers are aware and are okay with me doing that, as whichever one I don't take, I'll already have a qualified buyer for.

Figured it was something objective like that

Pictures of the underbody when you get a chance would be great. I believe Subaru included all the aero panels as standard.

Excited to see you push the limits of this platform and identify its weaknesses. Thanks for your work.

Are the knuckle bolts the same? Same OEM crash bolt for additional camber like the first gen?

Same or effectively same.

I hit my camber target without the use of different bolts.

Ahh you got yours at Irvine? They have another white one on the floor I've been inquiring about...$5k markup though.

Curious to see what you do with his one.

Yessir.

I've bought many cars from them; I take care of them, and they take care of me.

Hearty congratulations Mike. Will follow with interest. Any chance a PD SC like Edelbrock or Harrop will bolt onto the new engine without mods?

Based on some layout changes, some changes to the superchargers may be needed.

I'll let the respective companies confirm/deny when they have a chance.

Any chance the stock struts/shocks bolt up to the first gen car?

Is the bolt pattern the same for the wheels? If exhaust and suspension swap over this is getting more and more tempting to swap my 2017 for one of these. If the BBK can swap I'm sold.
