Are you guys going to run those brakes through the winter with all the salt MD throws down? From what I understood, those brakes are a no-go in salt.

Love it, love the steering wheel, wheels, all of it! How are those LCA bushings from AVO?

NOPE. This baby will be on jack stands getting a MASSIVE turbo .......
....NOT ! JK. I will drive it some but not when the roads are

Nah, a nice 03 Forester with EVO seats will be the winter ride.

Yes I love the AVO bushings. Whiteline hadnt made these yet and while WL is good these were available and Paul Hanson runs the USA division. Paul Hanson is damn near legendary to JDM performance. So I figured if he uses these then they are a solid product.

Your car looks great! What percent tint do you have and which front lip is on your car?

Tell us more about this steering wheel! It looks great.

Hey Myles,

Love the RCE on my car so far. You have a good looking car. Looking at your picture, will you confirm this suspension list?

I count:
+ Whiteline Crossmember bushings for rear subframe
+ Whiteline Camber adjustment bushings for Upper A arm
+ Whiteline rear sway bar bushings
+ 2008+ Subaru Rear Lower control arms
+ Coilovers
+ Whiteline front sway bar bushings
+ Some red bushings for the front subframe?
+ Fatter rear swaybar
+ super fat front swaybar 45mm?

Are those the stock rear swaybar endlinks?

Thanks,
Victor

2011+ STI rear lower control arms, I believe.
AVO lower control arm bushings (front?).

Is it the cusco wheel with suede finish?

RYU · 10-18-2012, 12:25 AM

Myles/Andrew,

What kind of rear camber adjustment parts are you guys running? From what I see it's only the WL eccentric bushing kit for the upper control arm.

I was only able to dial in -1.7*. Was hoping for -1.5* or less with the RCE yellows.

Stock wheel, covered by JPM Coachworks as I said.

Yeah, after looking at it the cusco one is much different.

Looks good!
