Gorgeous day today. Took the Z on a sunrise drive then washed it and the wife's car. Still need to wash the DD, maybe tomorrow.

It's pretty straight forward, what questions do you have?

Hotrodz · 04-15-2017, 03:32 PM

Yup, I put mine on without any problem.

They went on pretty easily.

Rear springs and camber arms installed. Rear toe arms and front springs will be next weekend.
EW was a big help today, he put lots of time in under the car.

Next weekend I think I will toss a couple of chickens in the smoker while I work. Good excuse to take a break.

I've just not fiddled with any suspension stuff before so i was hoping to get a good visual of what was going on. As you guys know, it was not a difficult job once you start doing it.

Rear still looks like 4x4, EW says it will settle down, not sure I believe him.

so subaru sent me their flyer and was checking out da 2018 WRX (non-STI). has more amenities getting kinda closer to wat my GTI has.

wife comes home and saw me checking out the catalog and she's like 'are you buying another car, ken-san?'

whenever im looking at car catalogs she thinks im buying a new car.

improved suspension from 15-17 WRX, steering responsive headlights, updated electronic power steering (unlike my STI does not have hydraulic steering) updated HU..hopefully with CarPlay.. CVT one might make for a good dd with eyesight and all, new facia. pretty cool.
