Bought some HSD HR's off Joe! Cheers mate. Should have them in a few weeks. Gonna get it sitting real nice.

Also looking at doing new rims at the same time to go with the coilovers.

If so will sell the 17" STI rims with Falken RT615 rubber on currently.

Minor update.

Got bored.

Did some stuff - Dedcided to de-badge ze rear SUBARU badges as they are a pain and clutter the boot. Was a bit of a pain, after those badges have been on for 10 years.

Used the hairdryer, but was still tough to get off, ended up having to use some bug/tar remover, bit of clay barring and a razor to get the tiny bits of resin off. Still no 100% but close.

Before:

After:

New rims will look like this with the work lugnuts, going on this week. I think they are pretty common but should look the goods in the size and offset i scored.

HSD's going in, they look so good.

Also picked up an 03 STI steering wheel to replace the older 01 looking one.

Cluster i put in a few months ago.

Will get better shots once the rims/coils are in.

Thanks for looking.

Hey dude let me know how you go with those coils.....i've been reading online/ older threads and most people recommend tein ss? Any reason you went with the HSD? They are price well but i dont know anything about them...

Jordiee 29-05-2011 05:34 PM

looking good, imo you should de-wing it and slam it on it's arse with the new rims, will look better than with the wing

keen for pics

Not looked through enough threads on Perth-WRX

Joe has literally sold hundreds of these setups and worked well across the board.

Yeah i reckon so too, was just thinking the same. Filling boot holes, what's the go with that?

Know of Tein super streets, but not really seen a heap of people recommending them? I think there are a lot of people on here using HSD's with only praise good feedback.

[/QUOTE]

i was looking at filling mine, i got a quote from the spoiler shop for 400 dollars, holes welded and the entire boot repainted

but i ended up just filling mine in with rubber gromets (which most people do), which you can buy from repco or supercheap etc. for nothing

you might want to get white ones, considering your car is white, if you choose to do that
