It's not a 'look', played out or otherwise, it's their genes! And purple wheels / stuffed cats are not a good look as far as this callsign's concerned...
All just my opinion, obviously.

Haha, no, you certainly don't want an arch pull like mine, my arches are pretty screwed to be honest.
What about a bit of camber? Either adjustable top mounts on your coils or camber bolts? You'd get uneven tyre wear but they'd tuck under the arches.

Haha, I nearly removed one of mine the other day after reversing up a 2-3cm lip (that I've done quite a few times before, so not quite sure why it did it this time :/ ). Good times.
Also, just parked up in the local Moz to do some shopping, locked up, turned round and there's this guy sat in an stock STi giving me a look of absolute disgust. Made my day that did, put a massive grin on my face
Met Bockett last weekend too, so now I've got to go lower...

Haha. I've just got in from a little motor show meet this evening. Hot rods, old skool Fords and some lovely dubs. It had the worst incline I've ever seen. I would have been concerned even on stock springs. Nursing a slightly smelly clutch now from easing my way up it

Sounds good, take it you got plenty of pictures? I had the same yesterday crawling up the hill in Alton Towers car park, clutch smelt horrible, was half expecting it to give in at any moment :/

Pyro, liking the car, but not the M3 mirrors. Stance is very nice and love the spoilerless look

Haha, Dunx, I have my limits, even I'll admit that just looks broken! (plus UK roads woun't allow that kind of stance...)
Cheers blu-scoob. I 'might' consider changing the mirrors back if I can't wire up the electric adjustment on these, it's quite useful to be able to point them at the kerb when parking, especially with this look ;]
