I like what you've done with those wheels. Any pics from the side with the wheels done and the graphics on?
I'd get a front splitter next, they make the front end look tougher.

Like the orange wheels, different!

I'd lower it next and get some 18" wheels, still spray them orange again though !

I like the wheels as they are different and there are far too many cars around with gold wheels, the colours make the wheels stand out which is no bad thing.

I would put the darkest black tints possible on the rear windows, fit lowering springs (far better for UK roads than coilovers when you have the geometry sorted out as well) and has already been mentioned a front splitter to complete the look.

Out of interest why would you recommend springs over coilovers CF? I keep toying with the idea of lowering mine but a lack of funds and too many high kerbs/bumps keep putting me off!

I like the wheels, they go well with the graphics

I have BC coilovers on my Spec C and the ride is cr@p on the state of our roads in the UK. They have been setup and the geometry done by Powerstation, they have been setup for fast road and the ride quality is pants.

My previous Impreza which was an S202 on standard struts and springs (for the S202 anyway with all the pink STi suspension goodies) held the road better, was more comfortable and you didn't get out of the car after a run and feel the need for a chiropractor.

If I could get the same suspension as I had in my S202 then I'd change the coilovers in a heartbeat.

Quite refreshing to hear that! Most people have been telling me to not just get springs. Cheers
