looks awesome and makes quite a difference in appearance. what's funny though is that they do make the once "big" rotors look small

Absolutely stunning Alf.

That's more or less exactly how I wanted mine to look like but I'm happy with my PFF-7's.



19" OZ Superleggera's are my ideal dream wheels as well but we'll just see. Again Talizman / Elmer Fudpucker's car was the car I looked up to and yes Elmer I know exactly what you're thinking when you read this about the wheels.

Stephen.

chers elmer

Got to ask though the back on yours looks higher than on mine what set up did you have on it.

I realy want a set of coilovers now so i can set the suspention as i like coz i think the back of mine sits to low.

Nice car rocky I was between the pff7 ans the leggs but i think the pff7 dont look right if u lower the car the pff7 are beter on standard suspention.

I was swung to the superleggs when revolution had an offer on here set of 4 with tyres for £1099 with toyo t1s but they didnt have t1s as they are discontunued so for £20 extra got a set of t1r

sos elmer but i got to say that the prodrives look better than the Tein I thought that the tein with their 25mm rear and 35mm front would look better but i was wrong.

By the way the pff-7 on prodrive springs look good but i dont thing that the teins would look good with them.

Ps what are the mirrors i fancy a pair.

u trend setter u.

The handling is a bit tighter round corners and harder on the bumps but not by a lot.

i am verry happy with it i want someone to set up the cmber and toe now but i live in north wales and no one round here has the knowledge to do a decent set up.

so if anyone knows of some one or somewhere let me know.

Kiss goodbye to that splitter. I've got the same springs on mine, and have had to repair the splitter at least 4 times. It does look nice though.

Those settings are for any new-age Impreza. Mine has AST's, the wheels and tyres shouldn't make a difference. Since these figures were applied to mine I have seen a vast improvement in cornering stability and perfectly even tyre wear. With other fast road set-ups just about everyone else I know has had uneven wear. Even on track (Blyton, with an exceptionally abrasive surface) I had even wear, when everyone else was wearing theirs down to the wire on the NSF outer edge. Print it out and present it to whoever does it, they'll either mock it or do it. All I know is it works well for me.
