remember when i said i want it to drive like my s2000 did..... well its by far tighter and the alignment is getting done this weekend. I'm very happy with it. I would have bought crap if it wasn't for all the guys and gals in chat giving me advice on purchases so thanks to everyone.

BEWBS... it felt like it was needed

Looks good Bill. You buy the Subaru ones or did you Dip/Paint them?
 
#12 ·
Nice. I might just order them since they aren't that expensive. I don't feel like dealing with plastidip or paint since its getting cold as hell out!.

yup DD what are your questions about the suspension? I'm no expert but i can give you my opinions.

Stock s2k has great handling almost zero body roll and a near perfect 50/50 weight distribution.

Stock GR WRX to me felt like a small minivan with body roll it was pretty awful.

It's noticeably stiffer and yes you feel bumps on the road than you didn't feel before but its not like unbearable by any means its just what you sacrifice for a stiffer setup. I while back I found a good write up on sways for the noob. It is a pretty good explanation of how they work altho i don't agree with their recommendation of products.

The Truth about Sway Bars


I personally have my sways set at the softest setting front and rear and my koni's are at 50%
