Beautiful! There are plug'n'play airbag adapters available from Japan for the Recaro airbags if you haven't purchased them already.

Can't help you with the rails, but I always wondered what those BBS's would look like on these wagons. I like!

Looks mean! Nice work, I like it.

I happened across a sale for 3 pre-hung doors on the way home from work... No u-haul needed!

This thing is glorious, keep up the updates!

Damn. Nice curves and numbers! That's on pump gas? I might have to do that heated seat thing too... Thanks for giving it a go!

I took that piece off and took the Dremel to it, no rubbing even on a wider, larger diameter tire.

What type of tire?

OEM Reman! See if your dealer can get you one

Locally, free.

I finally had a chance to spend a few minutes on the wagon last night, and installed a set of DBA 5000 2-piece rotors. +1 to bling?

Maybe I'll go ahead and install those Id1300's I have kicking around and hope that release date is realistic!

Great choice being financially irresponsible like the rest of us. Keep the updates coming! The photos are always great in this thread.

The wagon is looking sooo good. What did you do to make the rev D/F grille fit? Is there an existing walkthrough?

Nice to see new projects on the site! Keep the updates coming

Replied to your PM. Still on RCE Tarmacs, will be changing to AST 5300's once I get them rebuilt (assuming they're in good enough shape to rebuild...). Ohlins sold to Magnusonsubie a while back.

Axles become a complication. Track width of the LGT is ~2" narrower than the 2005+ STI, so each STI rear axle will be compressed by 1" leaving its working range a lot smaller than designed. That solution may require custom DSS STI rear axle bars. Still, pursue it! No promises what I'm working on will be a working solution.

No, unfortunately they were one-offs and there's no documentation available 12 years later.

I was up at our local rally shop picking up some fun stuff, and found out what the deal with my set of oddball rear axles is. It sounds like they were assembled pre-spec B axle availability to work a R180 into a LGT that made 703 whp on race gas... I'm happy to find out that I own custom driveshaft shop 27mm axle bars and cryo-treated CV joints!

If you're using the STi front axles, you'll want 08+ STi LCAs as well as the hubs and knuckles in order to keep the axles in their working range. However, this will increase track width quite a bit so you're going to have to source some high offset 5*114.3 front wheels. Freerangeracing mentioned 05 STi hubs are a direct fit for the ABS sensor and he used them instead of 08 STi knuckles. Keep up the awesome work!

You're building quite the collection of LGT's I chatted with him about his approach to the swap - we'll see if I can carry on with the design I have in mind and incorporate the ABS sensor. I have two sets of trailing arms sitting in the garage I'm working with - a steel set and a JDM spec B aluminum set with a Brembo-specific LGT backing plate to compare against. I'm all set as far as measurements go, and am working off manufacturer specs/drawings for the 08 sti hubs.

I would love to head out there - they don't have many public track days but I'll try to get out and make it happen. When they do, the pricing is $$$ I'm working on the ol' 5x114.3 conversion and may have a abs-friendly solution. If so, track abuse will have to wait until after that's done. No promises though, it's been an open issue for a long time as you know all too well.

I found these a couple weeks after selling those to you, the timing was perfect! Noted, thanks. I'm running a 24mm front sway and 21mm rear too. What are 13k springs like on the road? I still want to be able to enjoy the car on imperfect pavement.

Sourced them from the other side of the pond. Thanks! I think I'm obligated to start taking the wagon to the track once these are installed. Spring rates are 13k front and 11k rear, I might have to drop them to something more streetable. Beggars can't be choosers though
