Red mud flaps FTW....as long as they're proper RallyArmor ones, not the BIG red plasticky looking things you can get off ebay...

What brand mudflaps you got on yours Alex?

Black is not noticeable anyway, leave them on, it will save you from stone chips all over the side panels.

Mudflaps are great when they are functional and people treat them as such. Yours are black and blend in, hardly noticeable. It's when people get massive ones with bright colours like it's some kind of cosmetic addon that everyone gets butthurt

Yes they are MMS mudflaps...big enough to stop stone chips, but small enough to look OK.

Why are you asking about Tein adjustable top hats...the car already has a set of adjustable front top hats....rears are not required as you can get 2 deg on the rear without them.

PS 1. I hope you're not putting BC coilovers on it?
2. Rims look good...I'm glad you put Advans on it!

Agreed with Nauli there
Get Tein SS as a minimum if you're getting coilovers...

You get what you pay for

Generally stick with Teins, K&W (if you can afford), Bilsteins, Ohlins, and that range...when you go with BC, Megan Racing, D2, etc etc, you get what you pay for (made in taiwan).

They will work...just not as good and you might end up with weird noises or super rough ride or rebound settings not working like they should, or rusting/water damage in the struts.
I've never personally owned one of these coilovers, but relating what I've heard from a lot of WRXers and friends that have tried those brands...
I can't tell you if it's true or if its BS as its not my experience.
