    Yeah, I shied away from getting a 18" wheel/tire package because of tire prices. Instead opted for 225/45/17 tires to put on the stock wheels while I wait for a 17x8 wheel that I actually want to get back in stock, or show up used locally.

    Had a little something dropped off on the porch today.

    Definitely going to keep an eye on it. That's a very clean looking car, but it is modded. It has a reserve on it, I wonder what that is.

    Yesterday I pulled out my aluminum control arms to clean up, so I'm not bringing in dirty parts to put on the press at my work. Discovered that, nope, that's not road grime, these have been painted black. Boo Short of media blasting, anyone have suggestions on restoring them to aluminum glory?

    Just got word from Tirerack that my rear Konis should be in my hands next week, and that's the last piece I needed for the big suspension refresh. Might make my own thread for my car to post pictures it.

    This seems like an insane deal for the right person. I kinda wish I was that person.

    Bumping a 2 year old thread and getting my hopes up. Come on man!

    PM'd about whiteline kca399
  9. tehspud
    With the KTA124 rear lower control arms, did you opt for the camber bushings (KCA399) or standard ones (W63397) for the upper outer bushing? I'm curious if there's any benefit to having camber adjustment on both the upper arm and lower arms for the rear.

    Wish I had the budget for some light forged wheels. Best I’ve ever used were RPF-1s, which are decently light for the size. I’m kinda over the split 6 spoke look, though.
  11. tehspud
    I'm assuming "right size" is a 235 (for 17 or 18 dia wheels)? Seems like going up to a 245 is right around where you start having a bad time if you don't have the exact right setup, alignment, etc. I do miss my BRZ in that regard, just slap on 9s with 255s and go.

    Why does my brain keep wanting to do 8.5" or 9" wide wheels on the wagon? I know they're a pita to fit and require more work than I really want to do. Someone smack me through the internet and tell me to stick to 8" wide wheels.

    Well now I'm waffling between Konis and Bilsteins. In reading a bunch of posts, seems like the swifts sit a bit lower on Konis than the Bilsteins in the front. *EDIT* Maybe not actually the case? I'm sure it'll be fine, I'm just going into full analysis paralysis mode.

    On a whim bought Infosecdad's Swift springs last night. I guess this spring's suspension refresh will be bigger than I initially planned. Time to think about Konis and what direction I want to go with the rear, either full whiteline lower control arms, or just refresh the bushings and get the upper camber kit. Let's be honest, I'll probably go for the full control arm route.

    I got that kit last summer, and eventually swapped the whiteline endlinks for solid kartboy ones. Felt and sounded like no matter what I did, the whiteline ones always changed length on their own and caused a lot of clunking. Otherwise I'm happy with the bars. I did the rear avo bracket supports at the same time. All in all the install was super easy.

    Keep us up to date if you do take a chance on that grill. I also can't stand the stock usdm one, especially because mine has bubbling/peeling chrome.
  17. tehspud
    I thought the same thing, then I looked up the price. :eek: ~$800 / wheel is a bit too much for me right now.
  18. tehspud
    Also aluminum doesn't rust form road salt, if you see that kind of thing.
  19. tehspud
    The Proforge ones? Those are the only forged ones I can find. Jerks don't give you the pinch bolt with them... I bought used spec-b front lower control arms off ebay that ended up being slightly cheaper than getting the mevotec aluminum arms. I already have new whiteline front and rear bushings for them, so used arms with shot bushings seemed like a better deal.
  20. tehspud
    Might have just ordered aluminum front control arms to go with the new bushings I have lying around. Recommendations on ball joint brand? Only subaru, or is moog or mevotec okay?
  21. tehspud
    I'd be all over this if they weren't on the other side of the country. GLWS!
  22. tehspud
    So what does JDM bumper fitment mean for a usdm wagon? Tips going to stick out too much?
  23. tehspud
    Alright, more WagonFest shots.
  24. tehspud
    Uhhh yeah... those are totally Enkeis on my car. *waves hand* Pay no attention to the center caps.
  25. tehspud
    I do I just haven’t gotten to editing any more yet. Soon.
