Yeah just copys, couldnt get them through subaru, and japan parts wanted an arm and a leg for them, second hand on ebay they were a bit over priced IMO. heres where i got mine from http://www.matcraft....Aug2000-Aug2007 cost me about $70 plus postage. which i think is pretty good cause im MORE then happy with them. Im sure if you ask nicely they'll put 'WRX' on them

ah cool thanks for the link ill check it out. in regards to your other response on the headlights yes thats what they look like. much tidier look makes them stand out 10x less. clear is good. orange is tacky check these out mate. http://cgi.ebay.com....=item3cacfe7b97 obviously inspect them, but having wrx struts gives you a huge range of springs to choose from which are suited to the wrx strut.

its not just lower, its a firmer ride. less body roll = win. your choice. saving the bucks is a good idea, if you get pulled to the impreza side you won't be dissapointed if you upgrade to a wrx

i know i know, everyday i think about lowering it. but it has less body roll then my old wagon and it handles really good for a standerd car. i think im definatly on the impreza side mate! i'll be surprised if mum's next car isnt an impreza, she loves driving it! Weekly update of Personalised number plates, and won some borla rep headers of ebay, $107 brand new, so i cant complain too much :yahoo:

from what i've been told the sound tinny unless their heat wrapped, but then i've been told heat wrapping can ruin them, but i didnt think stainless rusted?

Got the headers on just this morning, they definatly are tinny, i've been told once they get a carbon build up it should go away, or i could heat wrap them. Jesse how did you go with the other set? i noticed they sold for $221, the seller has a few sets though.

The whole 'keep it stock' thing has worn off..

I've loved these rims on my mates RS liberty every since he got it, and when he decided to change rims i snapped them up

Then walked into repco to see on the clearence items table a whiteline strut brace for $110!
I've got some blacked out koji modded headlights sitting at the local TNT depot waiting to be picked up

Next it'll get lowered (Currently I'm set on some STI struts with STI pink springs. I really dont want a hard ride set-up.), a 1 piece STI grill, and get my side skirts and bumper skirts colour coded silver.

I doubt i'll do much more then that, as in a little over 9 months i'll be upgrading to an STI

looking good mate,

re: springs, if you are after a nice lowered stance, sti pinks really don't give you a big drop. H&Rs are the go for ride height/comfort/handling.

I replaced my STi pinks with H&R's and am much happier with the performance/comfort levels and the look!
