I just noticed your rear ended pic. :/ Hope the repairs are straightforward... would a replacement reinforcement bar just bolt in?

0.6" drop. Subtle, but noticeable. It makes the wheel gap uniform across the whole arch, which was what I was looking for. They're also designed to work with your stock struts. TRD springs are the same.

Yeah it was just a replacement of the reinforcement bar and bumper cover. Everything bolted on with no hassle. Paint match was near perfect too. Interestingly, my front bumper also had a mold issue where the ends of the bumper cover were protruding out from under the headlights, so I had that replaced by Subaru at the same time. The pics I took above were all post-repair.

Nice build, glad to hear you're okay from the accident.

Shopping around for a front / over pipe for 6AT. I see you have the Motiv combination. How did it fit? Their website says it's made of stainless steel, but do you know what type?

Fitment is perfect. I highly support Motiv as they make quality products and go above and beyond in terms of customer service. I'm local in Irvine so I got to know the guys and they are great. Their products are made from RathGibson 304SS.

Thanks. Reading great things about Motiv. I ended up buying a second hand new set of the Motiv HFC pipe and over pipe from @Scooby South

Thank you.
For me, there was a little less body flex during cornering. Car stays neutral balanced. However, this is when pushing the car towards its handling limits. I think I saw somewhere that you posted your car is a daily with no intentions to track it. IMO it wouldn't be worth the money to add the stabilizers in your case. You're better off using the money on a good set of springs, or even adding front/rear braces. You'll find more benefit from them.

I know haha. I wasn't a big fan of the ultramarine/galaxy blue, but the more I see it the better it looks.
