I got them all the time when it was lowered and had the paint matched mesh grille, 2010 GT. People weren't sure what it was or if it was a new, more mature STi.

 

A former A8 owner really liked it and asked how reliable it was since he had to get rid of his A8 cause it kept breaking down.

Me too.

Speeding ticket! 35 in 25

I could find KW V3 for 1850$ shipped for a while but no longer. If these ride just as smooth, it's a good deal.

 

Stock KW V3 springs are 400 lbs., my Swifts for my KW V3s are 360 lbs as a comparison.

Looking good. I am going to color match mine but this also looks tempting.

Wait, a JDM guy replaced his headlights with USDM??? That makes no sense.

This hasn't been a major problem for the US assembled KW V3s. I have them with softer Swift springs and they are very comfortable for daily driving and I live in Colorado.

My only complaint is in cold weather I hear an abrupt chirp/squeak over the really harsh bumps/potholes.

I will try to lubricate them with lithium grease but in warmer weather they are silent and also the clunkyness that I heard from the stock shocks is gone.

That grille above is a 2012 Impreza grille, guy has had it listed wrong for a while.

Love the swifts but over time they still tax the stock struts so waiting for Bilsteins.

If my ride quality with the Swifts and 20mm RSB with wider wheels had stayed the same as it was in the beginning I would have left it alone.

Depends on the roads. I liked the the Teins on the highway but Denver roads are rough and almost every day there would be as spot where it would max out the shock and hit the bump stop. The 2013 have better shocks too so this should be less of a problem.

 

5thgen2.5i how are your shocks so far? Mine are getting less complaint and bouncier after 26,000 of having had Teins and Swifts.

Why? It's not JDM!

I remember seeing someone with Steel Silver color matched the chrome on the OEM grille. Anyone done this as well or have links to those pics?

No loss in reception, I just used Platinum silver spray paint.

My friend's S60 R, really light feeling clutch and 3 setting adjustable dampers.

He's just being an ass.

 

Those spacers really fill out the wheel arches nicely.

Are those the stock Potenza tires on the new wheels?

I am dropped 1.3" and can take all steep driveways at an angle.

LGT195, your Liberty comes with Bilstein shocks if I am not mistaken?

Great looking car. I heard good things about the manual tranny you guys get but still adds 100 lbs.

I don't recommend S-Teins unless you have smooth, glass roads and no snow fall where you live.The ride was so harsh, noisy and unpleasant in Denver. I switched mine to Swifts springs, much smoother ride and still sporty and low.

No, those are old pics that never got posted. I just didnt like too much chrome but the grillcraft fit better than my new one. Put it on yet?

He did them himself. Mine are from IDRVSLO.

Yes, I used to bag groceries at Safeway. Not as glamorous as it sounds.

 

This one time this bigger, older woman brought her own bags, so I proceeded to put groceries into one bag that was weird and silky. The groceries kept falling from the bottom.

 

I said "Something is wrong with this bag."

It was her underwear!
