Official 5th Gen "Rolling Shot" Thread
Brainchild Customs replied to GTEASER's topic in Legacy Photos (2010 - 2014)
little bit blurry.. he was shooting out the window of a truck on the highway -
as blizzard mentioned, I think road conditions do play a big role in the longevity of the coils. We're "lucky" I guess in the US because KW has a facility in California, so no need to wait the extra time for international return shipment in case of a rebuild. Keep in mind that a coilover isn't designed to last forever, you should expect to rebuild at least once during the time you own them (if you keep them for a while). Mine lasted less than 8k miles before the left rear blew out. Haven't had any issues with the other 3, and the rebuilt one has been performing perfectly for a month or two now. Between myself and friends, I've ridden on or owned most major coilover brands. KW's, for the price, have tended to be the most reliable and best ride quality for a daily driver. Obviously if you wanted to get really spendy, you can drop up to $10,000 per corner on some custom Ohlins or Motons, etc. but these are designed for the track and will require frequent rebuilds too. in my opinion, stay far away from the "knockoff" or no-name brands for a part like this. As Gborja said, some other solid brands in this realm are Cusco and Tein. Lots of other JDM tuner companies make their own coils too, but these are often rebranded Cusco's or teins. (i.e. zerosports, etc.) All that being said, I still think the KW is the best option out there for these cars at the moment. (price, build quality, ride quality, etc..)

i also found that SYMS makes a carbon trunk lip spoiler and carbon rear window spoiler too. http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&ei=oPIZUeTqJtGB0QGv5IHgAw&hl=en&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dsyms%2Bco%2Bjp%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26tbo%3Dd%26biw%3D1920%26bih%3D869&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=ja&u=http://syms.jp/productbmbr/category_110/&usg=ALkJrhiPaEOo3DqKQc54ubD8lVek594Zcw -

I actually wanted that one as well, but couldn't find out the specific part number for it even on the Corazon site. I like it a lot, do it if you can get it! -

^haha that's always an option.. I'm surprised you get 6 years between checks. Ours are pretty lax and we still have to have them done every 2 years. Or you could do what I did with my WRX http://imageshack.us/a/img23/4421/emissionsexemption.jpg -

^yep, I'm running the TXS prototype downpipe on my car, had it on for a few months now. I love how it changed the exhaust note of the car. Made it way throaty-ier and deeper. Build quality is top notch as well. Plus...it will allow you to, "SPIT HOT FIRE"!!!! -

I would guess not, simply due to our cars having the equal length header design. I would say you might be seeing some things from them;) -

^nice! What exhaust? -
Stoptech is my preferred brake kit (one of the few parts that I don't prefer a JDM company for). I like a lot of things about the performance, design and engineering behind their kits. Go on their website and check out their philosophy of what makes for a good big brake kit. This set will be my 4th BBK from them. The rears are actually 06 STi brembos, not the wrx versions. I was going to get the stoptech rear kit, but the one that would fit (08 sti +) had a larger diameter rotor than the front kit (since its for 04 STi). I decided that would not only look dumb, but bias would be way off. The 2 pot brembo rears should be perfect.
