Just wanted to check as they are listed specifically for the hatch STi through retailers and recommended on NASIOC / IWSTI. Are you saying that they will fit, though should be avoided Rob?

Reviews on the Teins are poor so I will avoid.

Wouldnt fit the Tein's, the car will sag like a 90yr olds **** after a while.

The pro kit that is on the Subaru system doesn't list it for the sti just the rx and wrx.

The pro r blue kit is in stock, Take a look at Don's saloon for an idea on the stance.

You didn't get on with the Evo then? My mate took me in his 9 FQ360MR and it didn't feel anything special to me, didn't feel any quicker or that it handled any better, what scooby you in now?

was a lovely car mate.just felt it was too much for a daily(which is what im needing at the minute)the car had a lot of money put into it and drove excellent.power delivery was brutal and by far the quickest car ive owned.however it did not have the personality of a scooby.im in a widetrack now,crystal grey,lovely.also been looked after and had quite a bit of money put into it.purchased from another snet member about 4 weeks ago.

Welcome - just like my first hatch. Be warned though that once you start tinkering it's very hard to stop! What are your plans?

Did you do the revised power steering yourself? Where did you get the kit from?

Presumably this makes the steering a heavier feel than standard?

Very nice, I want to get mine that shiny this summer (same colour as yours). Have you had that machine polished/corrected or is it just by hand?
