Good job on the exhaust Clyne, it's looking very sweet.

Where are you getting your pistons forged?

So it's that time of year again that the sun is shinning so I'm looking into getting some new suspension and wheels. I'm going for a set of coilovers and rota force 18x9 et 35. Only problem stopping me ordering them is which colour , my sti is wr blue, I was thinking white to be different but they only look good when clean and my cars a daily driver so do I stick with black or gunmetal or Evan bronze ?? Decisions decisions.

P.s bc or meister coilovers?

BC's on mine, Just done a 5 year overhaul on them. new springs bearing and seals £200. the struts themselves were like new silky smooth.

so no bad press from me on them, all the parts I changed had a very noticeable difference in them so they've been upgraded at some point due to some issues they may have had.

I had coil overs on my classic type r and tbh it was un drivable on our roads, perfect on the track but I'm not sure if ever consider it for road use again there's really good alternatives if you use your car daily. I had a cusco set up and even on the soft setting it was crazy. You daren't have a drink it would end up all over you and changing the stereo settings was impossible. I think there are good coil overs but don't know anyone with bc so can't comment on them.

BC's are better on their softest setting, maybe a tad harsher than the standard ride.

Not been doing much over the winter months with the car with driving it everyday to work and back it ends up bloody filthy.

But it has to be said the Poorboy's Products are just pretty spectacular for the price.
Got back into the car this weekend and gave it the much needed tlc that she deserves and to be fair I'm over the moon with the look that she has now.

Right Chaps, Not very often you find me asking for information, However since I have the R205 rear diffuser I want to compliment it with the genuine front splitter and skirt extension and side skirts. I don't want the HTautos ones, It has to be the real deal
The numbers I have are as follows

Front under spoiler extension ST96020ZR260
Side skirt under spoilers ST96030ZR020

Those are fine as I know they will fit, the bit that's confusing me Is the splitter shows an early GR front and not the latter. the part number that I have is SG517FG010

Side under Spoiler ST96030ZR020



"Original" STi front spoiler ST96020ZR180 now SG517FG010 (additionally fitted with rubber skirt lip ST960204S291)

Adopted by Subaru as an OEM accessory hence change of part number



"Revised" STi front spoiler ST96020ZR260 (additionally fitted with rubber skirt lip ST960204S291)

Don, being the endless supply of information. What's the part number / Web link for the steering wheel you have in the saloon?

Or more importantly for me, one that fits in a hawkeye?
