  1. That does look good... Can you guys swap wheels real quick for another comparison?
  2. I'll just use whatever I have on the OEM rear strut. Installed the koni/RCE springs on the front so now the car sits with a substantial rake! Finishing the rear struts tomorrow. Thanks for the info.
  3. Just clarifying, I did not see any rear bumpstops used with this install. Are they not needed with the Konis or just in general? Thanks.
  4. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/23/ybu7ydu2.jpg In the bag! Thanks Fredrik! Install coming soon...
  5. Not sure what page you were on exactly and it has been about a month but click on the link "vendors" at the top or go to the vendor market place in the forums. As a 2.5i daily driver, I'm debating between the Eibach pro springs and RCE Blacks. Both seem like good springs and are very similar but the Eibach springs has a softer ride and a "progressive" design. I know I can't go wrong with either but can anyone explain the performance advantages with the Eibach progressive design? Just looking for a good reason to pick one over the other. I need an extra edge when going for a drive with my buddy's BRZ and Porsche 981 Boxter as the competition
  6. At first, I thought those would be 19'' wheels. The car sits very well on those.
  7. Yup. Funny that's right where I got mine 4 months into ownership...
  8. Those look good! They seem to fill in the wheel wells nicely.
  9. Seems like the tires are 225/40/18 for some reason. Should be at least 45 sidewall... Maybe it's the sun shinning into those wheel wells? It makes me want to go with a darker wheel color since they make the wheels look taller to me.
  10. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/aftermarket-rims-2010-legacy-119663.html?p=4215818&highlight=TSW+Interlagos Found a pic on this page. Very shinny.
  11. Does anyone have some pictures of the TSW Interlagos wheels installed on a 5th gen?
  12. I tested out what I previously said was happening and it's confirmed. The off chance that I have the clutch backed out an inch or so when buckling up will prevent the brake from releasing. I'll have my seatbelt on, let clutch out, and giving it some throttle; the parking brake stays on. It won't release until I push in the clutch pedal all the way then let it back out. Now that I know what was going on and that there are two clutch switches I'll most likely not have this problem since ill just be aware of the switch points. The switches could be set correctly or maybe not. Next time I get an oil change I'll mention it and demonstrate the issue to the dealer.
  13. It's kind of an illusion how the bugeye looks as if it's lifted when sitting next to the rest.
  14. Thanks guys. I'm almost certain every time has some throttle in it though. It's just weird that I have the belt on and letting the clutch out with some throttle when it still wont release... I just need it to sense the clutch and throttle and off I go. Here's the thing... it seems like the clutch sensor is triggered with the pedal slammed to the floor, I need to do this in order for the engine to start as well. When getting in the car, I push the clutch in to start it, put my seat belt on, and start letting the clutch out while giving it some gas pedal respectively when I notice the brake not releasing. I'll slam the clutch pedal back to the floor and try again, then it works. I think the problem is in the "clutch sensing" part. What's probably happening is the clutch pedal slips back passed the sensor after starting the car and before clicking the seat belt in. If the belt is on and I push the clutch in the brake releases fine when letting it back out. The clutch is in but just not far enough when the seat belt is sensed. This really isn't a big deal and I can re-arrange my car starting habits or find a way to auto release the brake without the seatbelt sensor. I'm going to test what I said above later but I think that's what's going on. Maybe you have to push the clutch in and out 20 times in 30 seconds while clicking in and out the seat belt or some weird sequence like the seatbelt chime elimination...
  15. yeah, one would think... Usually when this happens I'll even have the belt on and it still will not disengage since I didn't press the clutch to the floor in time before releasing it... realizing this after the car threatens to stall = annoying. Robbing me of like 3 seconds!
