Looks the goods!

Also, saw this and thought of your hatch:



It's a BaysonR S205 style diffuser, found here. The exhaust surrounds are a bit meh though.

Definitely get the anti-lift kit and roll centre kit! They are probably the best parts i got! With anti-lift kit, on full acceleration the front end of the car doesn't lift anymore and stays where it should be. The roll centre kit pretty much just eliminates all understeer. Which is of course extremely good. I'd highly recommend it. (Oh and needs moar low :P haha just kidding)

Yeah exhaust surrounds should be left black....

Do you get out on the track much? I dunno why people spend so much on ALK's, sways, roll centre kits etc....do you even notice anything on the street?

I don't have any of that stuff, so i guess i might be missing out haha

Clearly if you had driven one of these cars in stock form on the street, both hard and moderately, you would see how much roll and understeer there is.

Not attacking, just stating

Drop looks good Ben!
Was also at that same boat ramp and wanted to take the same photo, but the swell we had that day was intense and I didn't want to risk anything happening to the car

Fair enough...

Yeah I dont really like the rear diffusers or exhaust surrounds tbh. Happy to leave it as is. Only thing i'd consider is tail light overlays, but I'm yet to see any that grab me.

Tony, think that was near the old whaling station, loved it down there. Car was great, though I put on 1100kms and copped some stone chips :/

Kid, They do handle like crap when hard cornering in stock form. Sway bars helped a massive amount with that. The things I listed arent very expensive either so I dont see it as a waste of money personally. But I'm open to opinions.....if im going to get the suspension and wheels aligned professionally I would want to get those parts installed first.

Car looks schweet with the ZS coilovers. One of my fav MY11/12's (Tony, Kym, relax I still love ya MY11/12's). Be very interested on your thoughts on the ride for the ZS's (possible replacement for myself is why I ask).

Tommy, stock WRX = understeer and body roll on tap. STI's are less inclined to do so with better suspension, sway bars, etc,etc but still understeer when pushed (though having DCCD helps with understeer).

ALK + RCK + sways make a noticeable difference (to a WRX from personal experience). I wont try and quantify how big the "difference" is because everyone would describe and feel it differently but basically the car is much more balanced through corners. Having a set of sticky tyres only makes things that much better.

Mind you after swaybars for a while you forget how stock feels, heck I feel my car rolls through corners with all the stuff done to it (but then im pedantic ).

Still, with all these mods, same formula applies, slow in, fast out (just be entering and exiting faster is all). Or you can be fulla hektik and go fast in, then off the track (chicks love it)

hahah chicks love the dirt track.
good explanation shane!

Had the car serviced today, so got them to lower it a touch. Looks better now.

Also had the muffler replaced under warranty after my other one developed a rattle, they sent me the burnt tip instead of the silver tip, but I dont mind it.
