I'm running Epic Engineering Lowering springs on stock wrx struts. I plan to get coilovers next spring/summer.

I am running 18x9 +35 rota gforces, wrapped in 255/40/18 hankook ventus evo v12s

Rear fenders are rolled, still rubs very slightly over hard bumps or dips

yea i love the g forces I'm definitely gonna get a set in the spring time. I also plan on doing bc coilovers most likely. Your car looks great tho man i love the way it looks

Thanks man, im thinking about either ordering svn-r's in the spring in 18x10, or getting my gforces powdercoated a different color

So i've been lazy lately, I have a gauge pod and three gauges that I want to put in my car, but I have to take the downpipe off and get the wideband bung welded on, but i've been too lazy to take it off lol...one of these days

What gauges did you pick up for it? Car looks really clean! I've been seeing more and more of the new WRXs around and they're really growing on me.

Installed my hella supertones yesterday, first time ever installing them, I just wired the exisitng horn wires to the supertones and grounded the supertones to their mounting locations, easiest wiring I think I have ever done.

Here are some pictures, they are loud as f00k...

I got them powder coated from bonehead performance...

Looks good, but damn that's a lot of work just to put some horns in lol.

it actually wasn't that bad, the hardest part was figuring out how to wire them up, and then the second hardest part was getting the damn plastic clips out that hold the front bumper on. After the plastic clips were out, the bumper came off pretty easy, and went back on pretty easy.

I looked up a how-to on IWSTI.com to see how to wire them up and they used a relay, but once I took my bumper off I was like...WTF?...i'll just extend the horn wires to each supertone and ground them, why go through all the other **** for the relay.

I drilled a hole in the radiator support on each side and used that as the mounting location for the horns.

And I had to buy some wire and female/male disconnects to wire them up, but wiring is relaxing to me...lol

...Also everytime I lock my car since i used the stock horn wires to wire them up, instead of the stock horns sounding to notify you that the car is locked, the supertones honk lol

Yeah I had to pick up two of them for the rsx. They were about $3 a piece!
