looks nice!!

[Legacy05]

Looks nice, but almost a little too low ...

don't listen to him :lol:

Looks gangsta, I love it. Just don't drive up to NYC with some of the roads we have...your suspension would get pwned.

Damn the spec.B wheels just fit the legacy look-wise. Gotta think about investing in a set..

[turntable]

teh sexay

and that car is SLAMMED. kinda makes me want to adjust my coilovers...

[PhiTauFord]

How'd you get ahold of the spec-B rims? Can you just walk into a dealership and buy em?

Looks excellent BTW!!

[CreoSTi]

Looks good!

I actually had my GT wheels stolen in downtown seattle. The insurance company ended up buiying the 18's and brand new tires at no cost to me...... gotta love insurance!!

[BLACKonBLACK Limited]

Do you have coilovers or just springs? which type?

[adam_gt]

The Springs are Tein and I love them!! I have had H & R and Eibach on other Subaru's and I find that Tein is definately top notch. I suggest the camber kit and struts as well.....

Holy Crap! Stolen off the car while it was parked, so they left it on cinderblocks or something? What happened?

[adam_gt]

The car was left on cinderblocks on the top floor of my girl's apartment building. You can imagine my shock coming out the next morning and seeing that....had to put spares and roll it down the garage. Worked out well in the end, though :)

[Leighow]

Yikes ... I am not sure if getting the car to the top floor was a "natural move".

.
It reminds of Hi-School in the late 40's when students a few years ahead of me carried a prof's small car into the gym !

I'm not "hip" whjen it come to rims, but:

-- one of my neighbour's has an old (say 15-20 years) Nissan 300 ZX. The rims are held together by 3 large, thick looking stars!

-- another has a VW GTI on 18" somethings that set the car looks low like yours ( I see in my memory about 1 inch of rubber at ground level).

PS: I thought that the 205/50R 17's on the 2.5i were pretty "hard" re comfort. I do see now that such tires totally improve the feel on smooth surfaces. I have to woory a bit about gravel hitting the rims along a few miles of gravel that I drive on summer weekends.

[CasopoliS]

car looks hot. like the rims.

anyone want to steal mine?

[heightsgtltd]

anyone want to steal mine?
:lol:

[KayGT]

your next mod should be wheel locks...they're cheap so even get two sets to have 2 different locks on each wheel...if that doesn't keep 'em safe nothing will.

[LegGTLT]

Well well well... another Seattle GT!!! Love the look of the car, you're gonna make team23 jealous! :lol: So, I gotta ask: how much (in general) are tein S techs? I'm 100% stock (flame away team23!) but I like the look of the slight drop. What's the ride difference in your opinion? That's what I'm most worried about is quality/comfort of the ride as I drive about 25k a year. See you at the next meet? ;) I gotta see this ride in person! Looks great buddy!!! :D

[Se2002]

Where'd you get the grill?

[godwhomismike]

wow - looks great!!!!

[scans007]

I love white, looks killer..........

Off to photos :D

[rexrw]

Like the wheels but looking a little to dropped. Should have gone with the Tein H or ION

wait wait wait... how did you manage to get 4 spares?! last time i checked my trunk i only had ONE!

me thinks me needs to go have a word w/ the dealership regarding the missing 3 spare tires! :iam:

[adam_gt]

The grille is JDM....you can just yahoo JDM grille and Legacy. It comes pre-painted and matched really well. Even for a three stage paint!
The springs were $340 I believe and I had a suspension shop that I know in Redmond install the entire suspension kit. I have always had lowered cars so the bumps don't bother me. I still think it feels great and haven't gotten any complaints from passengers. I have seen other legacy drops and they seem too high to me....to each their own.
As far as being too dropped.....I didn't know there was such a thing:). J/K. The car handles amazing and the drop looks/feels perfect to me....thanks for the feedback.

yes i'm jealous :lol:
i'm gonna search entire seattle and jack those wheels
his insurance will get him new ones
then i'll be happy, adam will be happy, all of us will be happy :lol:


$340 for tein s-techs???
i'm sorry but you got ripped...unless that's spring+installed price...still thats little pricey!

but looks goood!!
check out pacific northwest section more often!!!

[RobE]

car looks hot. like the rims.

:lol:

Car looks sweet. Good color choice.:icon_bigg

[mattg]

looks very nice.

[PhiTauFord]

I have a similar grill . . . check out RBS.

Man, you totally lucked out with the rims. I'm waiting to be laughed at when I walk into a dealership and ask to buy em.

[SLegacy99]

cool

[GTinSeattle]

Yeah a little too much for the springs, you can get H or S techs online for $200-220 shipped!

[GTinSeattle]

One more thing, how much did you pay for that grill? I've seen them for $320 from RBS.

[adam_gt]

The springs included the installation and an alignment....so I thought $340 was a pretty pimp deal. As far as the grille it was $295. I can try to determine where I got it....it has been a little while. I would highly recommend both!

[Hanger]

looks clean!! now clear them headlights :D

Why would they laugh? :iam:

[BlackRock]

Looks sick. I have a set of S techs waiting to be installed. The shop that is doing it is moving this week so I will have to wait a couple of weeks. Now I am really amped. :icon_bigg

Thanks for the compliments....I want to clear my lights too! Any ideas on the most pain free way to do it?

[Armokk]

What shop in Redmond did you go to?

[adam_gt]

The shop i went to is Speedware but I have an old friend that works there. It was a special deal. It is a great shop and I have had lots of things done there, though.

I know them. Last week they installed Perrin's PSRS (LCAB) for me, but at a regular price [sigh...]

[team23jordan]

adam, Dave at SRP can clear the headlights for you
I think he charges like 40 or 60

I did it by myself...it wasn't that bad
you also need to black out the headlights

[Gary84]

[Waxiboy]

get spline lugs or wheel locks at the least...

[adam_gt]

Wheel locks are on.....I'm keepin these :)

[mfg]

What kind of suspension setup is that? how does it handle?

[adam_gt]

Suspension is Tein Srpings, a camber kit and shocks. It handles well enough for me to own any punk that wants to race around a corner....I recommend it!

[mfg]

Hows the ride comfort? how much did the whole setup cost u

[spicish22]

car looks incredible... what make/size tires are you running?

im trying to work out with one of my buddies who just bought a wrx to buy my 17s so i can get the spec b's 18's

[LegGTLT]

adam_gt: Saw your ride out on Alki yesterday around 3:30pm. I parked my GRP sedan as close as I could! :D I was about halfway up the block from the beach from you. :) Nice looking ride in person!

[adam_gt]

Hey Nick....I saw your ride too. I think that I know you from college. WWU? I live down near Alki so you'll see the white GT there often.
====
As far as tire size....i am running 245 - 45 - 18. Michelin Pilot Sport. Love them!

[adam_gt]

Well I'll be damned!!! :lol: Yup, that's me! :D Were you in you the business school at WWU? :iam: I'll be interested to know... did you know Brooke and those girls? I know that's not very descriptive but if you're the same Adam, you'll remember them. :D

Yup....thats me. Eric was my roomate sophomore year. I like your idea for the California ave stop looking above Alki (near Admiral). I will make the next meet as long as it's still on the 15th!!!

[NewScooby]

What shocks???

Looks good BTW, I just can't imagine that good of a ride being that low
