Yeah, true

The RB5 was just so forgiving though, you could chuck it round anything and it would let you get away with it. The STi bites so you tend to back off a bit if you don't have the room to play! But the Brembo brakes

They look better! But I could still see some dirt on the rear diff in the last shot (were you halfway down a manhole when you took that shot?)
I am pleased you have resisted the temptation to advertise your own handywork by not stickering up the car. You don't go the special edition route then ruin the whole idea with sticky-back plastic!
