Lip and side skirt extensions installed!!!

[xwxspawnxwx]

Looks Awesome!

I'm guessing you plasti dipped it? Before or after install?

Do you have any info on the fitment/installation? How difficult was it. Also do you have any links where you purchased the sideskirts and lip from?

Thanks. no i did not plast-dip at all. it is the original color, but i will to add some protection. Installation for all is pretty simple, drill through the lip/skirt and body of vehicle, and just screw in with supplied screws, you can use more screws than supplied. i have 10 for the lip and 5 for each skirt. i used a lift and i didnt remove the bumper to install, but it will take at least 2 people so can hold in place while u drill . it took no more than an hour tops. i purchased the lip and skirt from TNA Autosports http://www.tnaauto.com/ from cali you have to call since its not on their website. i payed 375 shipped to mississippi. you can find the lip on ebay search " 06 sti lip or 07 sti lip) the sideskirts you would have to call TNA

thanks man! nah not that fast lol i've had the car for a year now since jan 13, my next step is coils, im really leaning toward the tein basic(i currently have tein s techs) they appeal to me because simplicity it has fixed damping, so no adjustability car is only a street car, but if not those than the option for megans or Cusco, i want the whole cusco suspension they offer bars/bracing and that'll be it for the time being!! so just coils but i'll add the camber bolts and rear upper control arms for adjustabolity

[iralli_iskustvo]

Looking very proper. The front lip looks great, whats next?

Thanks! My next step is Tein coils or either Cusco coils, want some more looowww!!

[Nast_Nas]

some pics i took a few days ago:D also 2 weeks ago added 15mm spacers in front and 20mm spacers in rear STANCE!!

[chillwill007]

Very nice I love your car seriously

[iralli_iskustvo]

Those spacers complete your wheel look. Very nice man!

[Polaris]

I know it can't be this simple, but is that rear strut bar essentially a bolt on?

yes sir it is lol. take the nuts off put the bar on and re-tighten nuts:D

[Polaris]

That is absolutely awesome, was afraid it was some god awful process like doing rear sway bars. Any noticeable difference in handling?

[TrailBrake]

Nicely executed :)

Any issues with AWD system or handling with wider spacers on the rear?

[Nast_Nas]

im not like a suspension guy expert lol, but in my seat of the pants experience lol but the rear does seem to handle well, i have taken some corners much faster with confidence and with turning.

as far as the spacers i have had no issues with the AWD system, no issues known to me as far as handling, i actually autocrossed with the spacers on,currently on 225/40 i like the wider stance , i do have a set of 235/40 though, but as far as i know probably wouldnt use spacers for track use lol :D

[ever12]

As long as the tire diameters are the same, the difference in offset would not damage the AWD system. Lowering offset in the rear only however will cause some understeer. An effective way to reduce some understeer is to run 5mm lower offset in the front than the rear. :)
