I get that. My wife's Impreza rides so much better than the 86. Just glides over rough roads.

It's even worse when I drive on the RS4s, sidewall has zero give. I can hardly wait to put the ecs02s back on

RS4s mounted on new wheels.. turns out there was a Mixup with sizes on my stock wheels none of us caught. 225 and 215s mix.

Ordering 225s to match and will be selling 215s as a full set cheap to somebody who wants them.

I managed to find a new unpainted Modellista antenna last month and spent quite a while translating its instructions. It's currently at the shop this week to install that and to fix some minor issues.

Found this $30 Aliexpress shift knob that’s similar to the BRZ TS oem red one with the exception that the leather on this cheapo one has a grainy texture instead of a smooth nappa leather. Decided to paint the silver bits all black.

I tried wrapping it instead, but my vinyl wrapping skills are lacking. We’ll see how long this paint lasts.
