nice! how much was the front lip?

[speh.11]

nice! how much was the front lip?

$110 + $60 for shipping from the US.

seems like pretty good quality, all holes already pre drilled so hopefully it should be a pretty straight forward install.

[speh.11]

Installed the rear aprons, nice and subtle look. There is a bit of a gap from the top looking down on the left one, should be able to fix with some double sided tape. Overall very happy.

 

Front lip is still in the works, should be installed over the weekend but looks pretty sweet when i have pushed it up flush with the front bar.

Put on the front lip on friday and proceeded to scrape it 3 hours later, not impressed but still loving the look. Will never be parking front in again. haha

 

Fitment is perfect but looks a bit dodgy in the photos cos the bumper is fairly scratched and the black on black bits make it look like there are gaps.

[speh.11]

please dont scrape please dont scrape please dont scrape please dont scrape *SCRAAAAPE*

[speh.11]

Ordered a whiteline 24mm 3 way adjustable rear sway bar from brakes direct on friday afternoon (half price special) delivered to my door monday morning. Pretty stoked with it, going to install it on thursday hopefully.

 

Thinking i need to start off on the softest setting and then see how i go from there... 

Anyone with any other suggestions?

Yep. Straight on hard

[LPM_B4]

+1 to straight on hard 

but mine went in a boat of a forester so i cant really talk

[speh.11]

yeah I was originally going to wind her up but been doing a bit of reading and a few people are saying that if it's too stiff then the back end steps out really easy, but dunno if that's rubbish or not.

[LPM_B4]

I've pushed mine pretty hard and haven't got the back to step out in the dry

In the wet yes but if your driving like that in the wet you get that

[Morgan]

You're going to end up putting it on hard anyway.

 

Save some time and do it now!

[speh.11]

is your foz running a lot of power though?

looks like hard it is then! haha

+1 for hard

I can get a bit of step out action on the dry if I push it hard enough. N/a too
Especially if there's a little bump in the road.

haha so I can expect more than "a bit" on 200kw+ atw?
