thanks for the helpful info as i'm looking just to lower it an inch or two but definitely not slamming it especially if i have to evacuate due to flooding.

 

Yeah, I would look into the BC or Megan Outback spec coilovers then if you are only wanting 1-2 inches lower

My Nameless Performance downpipe came in today too! Gotta take it to my blaster's on Monday so I can lay some ceramic on it Monday night! BTW guys, I am a powder and ceramic coater so you will see a bunch of parts(probably random stuff) being coated in my build. Started doing thermal dissipating coating, piston top, and piston skirt coatings too, but I am not offering that service for a few months so I can make sure all my processes are 100%.

The feal coilovers are great, I have had them on my obxt for a few weeks now (make sure you get the extenders) even w out doing the corner balance thing they feel pretty well sorted.. you will like them for sure! depending on what spring rate you got have some saggy butt spacers around just incase.. enjoy!

^So you're running the LGT-spec as well, correct?

 

I may have to look into these.

 

yes, im embarassed to admit it but just recently (this weekend) I Started messing with the adjustments.. and ...wow.. two clicks softer or harder is really noticeable.. my old (megans) it felt like 2-4 clicks wouldn't make any difference.. these.. feal's (with hotbits innards;) ) are the cats meow... now back to his obxt build..if anyone wants more info on em message me.. lets not derail his thread.:)

A few pics after a bath. Still a bit dirty though. Also looks like the LGT suspension could use some saggy butt spacers in the rear. I probably won't do them though. I will just keep it that way until spring when I put my coilovers on. Don't know yet. Might get annoyed with the sag and fix it in week. LOL!

Kinda funny that the wheels and tires look great in person but in pics the rims look too small and the tires look kinda balloony.

Also, I did not wrap the divorced section of the downpipe because it is not being used do to the Tial external gate. Gotta do something about the dumptube though. It's pretty loud and I don't care for all that volume.

It's been too long since I did anything on this thread. This damn winter here in Michigan has been rough. LOL! And yeah, I know I drive a Subaru, but I have a company car for work and it however, is NOT a Subaru(13' Nissan Sentra). But I have NOT stopped getting more parts around. Lately I have been focusing on getting the suspension and brakes taken care of. Here is my current list of parts for those

 

-Feal Suspension coilovers

-Megan Racing rear lower control arms(both sets) (Whiteline had no ETA on their backorder)

-Whiteline front lower control arm bushings( +.5* caster)

-Whiteline front 22mm adjustable sway bar

-Whiteline rear 20mm adjustable sway bar

-Moog front and rear end links

-AVO rear sway bar reinforcement brackets

-Wilwood Superlite front calipers

-Brakeswap.com Wilwood kit

-Wilwood BP-10 front pads

-Brakeswap.com LGT front premium slotted rotors

-Stoptech rear slotted LGT rotors

-Hawk HPS rear pads

-OEM LGT rear calipers&brackets

 

The only parts currently installed are the megan arms. I will be tackling the rest in the next couple of weeks. Hope it all goes smoothly

Holy smokes, Wilwoods for the brakes? I call dibs if you ever sell them! Let us know how those work out for you please.

Thanks!

 

Haha! Yeah, Wilwoods for the fronts. Using LGT calipers for the rears. I DO have a super clean set of 07 STI rear Brembos, but I'm not ready to put them on yet.

 

Yes, I am still in Jackson. I probably won't have the car in Kzoo til it's dyno time at SIM. Hopefully soon though.
