This is a great idea. I've been looking for something like since I got my car (3 weeks, lol) but what about making it vehicle specific 2.5, 3.6r and gt. Being that some suspension components are different from car to car. From what I've seen, the coilovers from a gt won't fit on a 2.5 or a 3.6r...

Nonsense. I have the same coilovers on my GT that DeltaSniper has on his 2.5i.

 

Most of the suspension is all the same fitment between 5th gen models. Front swaybars are different for the GT, but I think the 2.5i & 3.6R use the same front bar.

It's currently not in Tanabe USA website... you can call them for info. But from what I heard you can special order from Japan.

 

Ride is nice, handling improved, makes the car look much better...

Stock OEM Wheels(lurking around for new wheels)

Whiteline 22mm RSB (on order)

Tein S-tech springs

 

Drop is right where i wanted it, somewhat bouncy at times, but nothing to crazy hoping the RSB will improve the handling a bit more in the twistys

 

*everyones setups look nice, good thread delta. This should be very informative for those who are looking for ideas.

RBS Grille by Rommel, it was a limited run... :p

 

Rommel is still making grilles to order. I just ordered mine. Don't forget the paint code. And you will need to order/install the emblem yourself.

Save you some time, this is the correct badge. I decide to buy it and keep the original emblem on the grille so it will be easier to sell later on. You will need to add more 3M HD mounting tape + silicone to mount it to the grille. Btw, RBS's grille will need to be modified to fit properly, you'll see. I also recommend you lower the hood rubber stops down all the way and add a long piece of insulating foam (from home depot) between the grille and the bumper.

Does anyone here have rear camber bushings? I kinda wanna get rid of the negative camber on my rear wheels but I'm not sure which ones fit.

 

Specifically looking into 2008+ STi Whiteline KCA326 Rear Camber Bushings
