Default New wheels now fitted

Got my 18" Compomotive MO's back from powder coating. Not much out sun today but they're a bit different to gold! Finally some clearance for the front brakes .

Couldn't get Toyo T1-R's so went for slightly more expensive vredestein ultrac sensentas (came out 2nd in the Evo tyre test). Seem to be hanging on perfectly atm with no rubbing. Probably going to have the rear arches rolled so I can carry four people without any bother.

Got GAB adjustable dampers with HKS springs which lower the car approx. 50mm. Have the dampers set at halfway and it's not too bumpy or hard for everyday use and can be easily adjusted on the car.

Thumbs up

Best green classic ive ever seen by far ....the black skirts and splitter go so well with the colour, and the new wheels just add the finishing touch, brilliant

Oh and by the way thats an opinion comming from someone that doesnt even like green cars

Suspension setup is GAB adjustable dampers, HKS springs (lower approx. 50mm) and a few whiteline bits such as rear camber bolts, alloy drop links and rear adj anti roll bar.

Thought I'd seen your scooby before.......Talk-Torque.com

They are 8 inches wide with an offset of 50 and 215 width tyres which (just!) clear the rear struts and arches. Ultraleggras are a lighter wheel though and do suit the Impreza (use these daily but have some prodrive 17" PFF7's for track work )
