Sansoo Ian Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Why does it seem like every 4th gen leggy needs a lip, like the way the front bumper tilts up like that, kinda bothers me haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shtbxr22 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I want a lip, and I think i'll be changing my wheels to these soon. (their on loan from a good friend.

Strizzy Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 ^Cobb springs on my stock Bilstein struts. A baseball bat and a heatgun took care of most rubbing issues I had in the rear, but I still get a bit while taking hard turns and hitting decent dips in the turn. I have some 1/4" spacers I may put in the rear to hopefully take care of any rubbing issues. I also have Cobb front and rear sway bars. And FWIW, the tires are Falken Azenis RT615K's. So far, they grip like velcro (and pick up all the small debris on the road) when the roads are dry or wet. My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, they grip like velcro (and pick up all the small debris on the road) when the roads are dry or wet. I used the same stage 2 cobb suspension kit (coils over stock struts) and had no rubbing issues in the rear. In fact IIRC it lowers the car 1.75" front, 1.5" rear. I used cobb front/rear sways and perrin end links all around (cobb was out of stock for the links). Looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strizzy Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 ^Thanks! The Cobb stuff rides and handles incredible for a daily driver. I'm just not too sure about the 8.5" wide wheels. My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Popinski Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Some people report a fitment issue. I never saw it on mine. I've heard others complain of a metallic knocking noise over bumps from the hat on the metal coil from the fitment being off. Maybe certain gen springs might have been sized different?

Strizzy Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Oh.. That issue. I took preventive measures and slipped large heat-shrink tubing around the first two coils on each end of the springs before I put them in. Mine are nice and quiet My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murdoc158 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Issues? Am I supposed to have any? Just the spec B with inverted Bilsteins. I'm still piecing together the info, but most people recommend a JDM spring. Good to see 2 people without issue. Give me hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanaenk Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Am I crazy for not really digging the 06-07 wheels on an 08? Looks okay when car is just washed, but shortly after wheels just look to bright for my liking... 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naimouasta Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 first thorough wash for 2011 LOL. washed wheel wells really well, clayed car, and waxed. not really completely thorough but enough to hold me til it gets a bit warmer. http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/7075/dsc01207t.jpg http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4066/dsc01204ty.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, they grip like velcro (and pick up all the small debris on the road) when the roads are dry or wet. I had the exact same setup on my car and even with 1/4" spacers, the wheel wells rolled and pulled i still rubbed. I had 18x8 Rays wheels with 245-40-18 tires and I had to take them off. They werent good on my 08 spec.B as a daily driver. I have Cobb rear sway, Cusco front strut bar and rear lateral links on my car. My wheel wells still cut the crap out of the tires with a wicked negative camber. I sold the Rays wheels and tires and now have 04 STI BBS wheels 225/45/17's which I am very happy with. Just the spec B with inverted Bilsteins. I'm still piecing together the info, but most people recommend a JDM spring. Good to see 2 people without issue. Give me hope. I have Cobbs and they are nice but I hear they dont make them anymore not 100% sure though. This is how my car sits now on Cobbs with 1/4" butt spacers 3 finger gap all the way around its perfect for me http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd340/Jay04WRX/006.jpg I dont have the wing anymore http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd340/Jay04WRX/001.jpg Edited April 7, 2011 by BigBlack-V I was 0.

(with the factory tinted glass around 85% its more like 28%) Knock on wood i've never had any issues I personally wouldnt have put the tints on so dark but they came with the car when I got it. I was told they are 20% and I always have my sunroof open to try and let more light in the car. If I do see a cop I try to roll down one or two windows but thankfully i have not gotten in trouble for them. It also depends on what part of CT you are in and how you drive IMO Edited April 8, 2011 by BigBlack-V I was 0. And I'm still a zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
