My WRX wants to be like its older sister, so I picked up the JDM STi Performance Axle Back to match the one on the BRZ.

A few more pictures showcasing the JDM STi Performance Exhaust on the WRX:







Some recent updates to the interior of my WRX were added to give a more cohesive and "premium" feel to the interior:

JDM S4 CVT console trim + Subaru OEM carbon trim accessory
Handbrake boot wrapped in leather with red stitching from JPM Coachworks
OEM armrest extender wrapped in leather with red stitching from JPM Coachworks
STI Performance shift knob
STI Performance push button start

Mounted new wheels and tires.

Wheels: JDM STi Performance 18" x 8.5" +55 in black
Tires: Michelin Pilot Super Sports 245/40/18

Also added STi gold lug nuts and valve stem caps











Now the WRX and BRZ really are looking like the sisters they are

did you ever post pics of the stock steering wheel wrapped by JPMCoachworks? I'm deciding between doing that wrapped in Alcantara or going with the TRD wheel like what you have now. How did the two compare to each other?

This was mine:









It was custom alcantara top and bottom and perforated nappa leather on the sides. The steering wheel felt great but I just ended up deciding to go with the oem option based on how I was building my car. The TRD wheels sits at a slighter lower overall diameter which I liked more, but overall you can't fault either.

If I were to buy the STI Front and Rear strut and coil set from japanparts, what else would I need to ensure that everything fits and drives correctly?

I'm not really into the whole suspension lingo yet, so its confusing for me. Are these parts just like you would buy coilover sets?

Yes it's a spring and damper set so it bolts right on
