Are you looking at 18" or 19"? SA55M are nice. So are SA60M
What is gvb?

I'm looking at the 18's but I'm going to go aggressive. I made the mistake of going with 19's with the evo
Do the sa60m's come in black/red or did they stop those too? Gvb is the chassis code for the sedan. Grb is the hatch 08+ Last edited by ilive2win; 10-18-2011 at 12:09 AM. |

The 19 inch wheels didnt handle like the 18's do on the evo. The 18's feel a lOt better to me on the evo. It's probably the same for the sti |

Everyone needs new toys. I sold my z for a 135i (n54) and certainly enjoy the turbo and torque. Nick (esfourteen) prob had me in mind when he mentioned your gonna love tq.
My 135 is pretty damn fast and I ran into a built motor sti hatch with an fp red on e85 and the thing was an absolute monster. Sounds beautiful as well. He's gotta be on the forums plate is v8killa from NY and has cambered out ssr's I believe. Def a super hot car done right. Good luck

19's would probably look good on the STi especially if lowered, but not at the cost of hindering function and handling.

19's do look good but I want it to handle. I'm sticking to 18's this time lol. The z sale is pending. Hope I can get into the sti next week. I found a '12 sedan here that I have my eye on

Good luck with the sale. You'll like the STi. You'll miss some of the amenities that the Z has though (at least I do), like push button start, touch button lock/unlock, true auto on/off headlights, nicer leather and a flippin' back up cam. Not a simple add-on b/c the head unit doesn't have an aux video input jack. The STi is easier to heel-toe shift (smoother) though I find. But, the steering could be a bit firmer.
My mods are slowly trickling in. :-)

You're right. The Z seats are more supportive. The STi seats could use an adjustable lumbar support as well. That said, I was disappointed with the GT-R seats too, and the STi seats are no worse than those.

As for the seats, I think they all suck (except the evos recaros). That's why they make aftermarket bride's |

We should all start new journals until AK gives us the boot. Ha ha.
Yup I knew '12's were about to arrive when I ordered mine, but considering nothing major has changed btw 11 and 12 other than no more blacked out headlight housing and better designed stereo/nav interface with larger screen, it wasn't worth passing up the $2000 year end incentive. I prefer the older headlight housing anyway, though the new nav screen is so much bigger. On a different note, I will install Rally Armor mudflaps this weekend and I ordered a functional shark fin antenna to replace the long stock one. Check out this link: VG Shark Fin Antenna - Home They paint it body color for you. Haven't seen anyone with this on iwsti but thought I'd try it out. Should be getting it in 2-3 weeks.
