slowguy: did you also get the 25.4mm ones F&R? actually i think there is only one size? haha.. got endlinks too?

i wish i can track test the parts here.. but i'm still prepping the car slowly (need oil cooler, oil temp gauge, ss lines, brake pads, etc).. hopefully can hit the track late next year..

Windy Roads (Wet):
I was no where close to any limits in the rain around the mountains here. Nonetheless, I was able to get a feel of wet performance on the setup. I know tires are the more important factor between dry/wet condition, but I think it's still relevant to comment on the suspension setup.

2 words: more confidence. You just get more of it around corners when the car is this planted and willing to point to where you want it to go. I can compare to cayman S and FD2 Type-R since they are the most recent cars I have driven. My STi is still not as sharp as the 2 cars mentioned above, but it's getting there, strictly steering percision speaking. I'm sure if i have a quick rack from the JDM model, it will turn like a dream.

Next I will try to go a little faster in the wet to see how the car would behave. Right now it feels very neutral within limits but I have a feeling that the car is now more tail happy (from the equal sizes F&R sway bars), which has to be carefully managed on public roads).

DSLR pics to come soon..


peace
