98legwag Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Maaaaan, those wheels are clean dude! They do have some paint chips around the edge from mounting and dismounting tires. I am debating getting something wider. And possibly staying with 18s since the 3.0R Limiteds have them stock. But a little more sidewall might be good for a daily driver. If I keep these I will likely get them repainted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98legwag Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Since the rear brake pads need to be replaced soon I thought why not upgrade the front at the same time? http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g378/98legwag/2009%20%20Legacy%20R/20160211_175514_zpsnvm9l5vq.jpg I should also have three more packages arriving in the next couple weeks.

98legwag Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Two more packages arrived today. A Bayson R front lip. And Cusco rear strut tower brace. The matching Cusco front strut tower brace should be here in a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98legwag Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 I sold the Rays to a friend yesterday. Took these at our other friend's house where we met up. Pictures are gone due to Photobucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98legwag Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Man I really want to see pics once you get those Rays on! Car looks great! clean and classy. Yeah, about that. I sold them to a friend. He is putting them on his 2nd gen. Thanks for the compliments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98legwag Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 You're making me want a 3.0R again Thanks. I really like the 3.0Rs. I just wish SoA had made them available with the 6mt like the rest of the world. How does it feel with the new strut braces? It feels a little more stable in corners. Especially bumpy corners. I think the difference is in the handling/feel as opposed to actual grip. I also have noticed there are a little less creaks and rattles as well. All in all, for what I paid for the braces I am pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98legwag Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Had my driver's side low beam go out early this week. Bought the Osram Rally 65w H7s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98legwag Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hawk HPS pads are installed. I also had a slider pin stuck on one of the rear calipers. That got taken out, clean up, greased up, and is working now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98legwag Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 My STI BBS wheels are here. Only two really have any noticeable curb rash. One is fairly slight rash so I will not try to fix that for fear of only making it look worse. The "worst" just has two spots were the gold paint is gone so I will touch that up. I didn't have my phone or camera with me while unpacking them so I will get pics later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipman Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 04's? Or did you go with the 12's along with an adapter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98legwag Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 04's? Or did you go with the 12's along with an adapter? 04's. I got a good deal. I just need to order tires and my friend is sorting out TPMS sensors for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98legwag Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 My tires arrived yesterday. I got a set of Continental ExtremeContact DWS06. Saturday the car will go to my friend's shop to have the wheels and tires mounted, get an alignment, and have the parking brake adjusted. Then I have to install the Bayson R lip (which I found out there was an issue in production so it may not fit right) and install the Cobb rad shroud.

98legwag Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Wheels and tires are on with brand new OEM tpms sensors. I should be installing the lip later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98legwag Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 In other news my Bayson R lip is on. Fitment I give 8.5 out 10. My bumper does have a small crease right under the plate though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98legwag Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Suspension next? Not any time soon. Although I did figure out that my driver's side is about .5 in lower than the passenger side in the front. The driver's side has about 1 finger width clearance on my ramps with the lip on.

98legwag Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Ugh, why not? So much wheel gap Haha. Gotta love the Bilsteins. One reason is I am not sure which route I want to go. Stick with Bilsteins, probably HDs, and get Pinks or go to a Koni or KYB set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
