Very common when building a retaining wall.

The "look" is just photoshop.

Not a huge fan of Rally Blue + Gold Wheels - but that looks very nice. Looks std ride height though. A slight lower works wonders. Eibach springs give the look - but a noticably harsher ride. Until you change it, you dont realise what a good compromise the Std WRX suspension is !

Enjoy !
(MY03 WRX + Eibachs )

Well spoted people, the bricks are the wrong shape!

The image has been changed in photoshop but only the contrast and the focus.

I wasn't too keen on the gold wheels at all, but now I have the car, I'm beginning to come around.

Eibach springs are on order and will be fitted in the next week or so. Booked in on Thursday for the Clifford Intelliguard 950 and Blackjax box first.

Then, the ecu remap is the next thing...
