    NothingFancy: 15X7 +43 offset
    ToyRolla: The camber plates came with the coilovers and yes all cusco. the control arms now have polyurethane bushings which are offsetted to increase caster thereby giving me a more percise steering response, quicker return to center, and a more solid steering feel .
    fishexpo101: yeah tell me about it, I am now rubbing my fenders on the front! Hopefully dailing up some negative camber would solve that problem but I have already raised it 5/16's inch since my initial setting, I still get some rub after I tested it on a high speed corner.

    And thank you for your compliments and input guys.

    looks good, but may i suggest some Falken Ziex 512's for the front...cuz my front use to rub like a gay guy watchin porn but now i got the Falkens and the falken has a very small tread width compared to other tires of the same size. for example, my old Parada Spec 2's had a 7.9" tread width, but the Falkens i have now which are the same size 205/40/17 have only a 6.9" tread width. that one inch difference is A LOT!!!

    Phozenstone: yea I noticed the same thing on the 512's I have on my steelies compared to my old azenis. Going with thiner tirs would solve the prob but I'm more concern about the performance aspect and pavement adhesion of my current tires. The 512's are great daily driver tires but wouldn't be sufficient for track use. Also I am thinking of getting a pair of track only rims to run 225's up front later on so it would be better for me to change the height and camber adjustments. thanks for the suggestion tho ;)
    fastrolla96: I want ur 5spd:D
    slo: It's amazing how much disposable income you have when you're sad and loney with no gf:(.. There isn't that much diff in braking since the fronts does ~80% f the work.. But disc brakes definately would resist brake fade better, one of the main reason I did the conversion is because changing pads is a less of a bitch than changing shoes and they look a lil better then drums I guess.

    AE102: yea I know, I dont want to go through the trouble of gettin out my keys or pulling my trunk latch
    Barnacules GREX oil filter relocation kit. Bushings were imported from australia, they were made by Fulcrum SuperPro, same company that makes the bushings for Fulcrum Whiteline swaybars. You can get it from any wshiteline dealer, ie glopalperformanceparts.com 185performance.com whiteline.com.au etc,etc
    sxlostv1 you may send me some offerings, I take them in wilwood form.;)

    Aww c'mon you're the one with the fully built bulletproof 7afte + a fresh rebuilt C52 tranny! I envy YOU! but don't worry man i'll catch up.. soon.

    Bushings (that I have:(
    front swaybar = 25ish
    front control arm pivot = 20ish
    front control arm transverse link/ eccentric (caster increase)= 120ish

    Superpro also offer a full line of rear control arm bushings.. I dont have them yet but I might get them later on in the future. I got the front ones for now in attemps to improve the steering feel, and I must admit, it's much crisper.

    Also a shameless plug but many enthusists consider SuperPro higher quality then Energy Suspension.. I like them because they haven't shamelessly ignored our cars; and everything I purchased from them so far fits like a glove, you can see many WRX owners using their products. Check them out at

    jdm96: front lip is a custom one off piece I made myself, sides were OEM stock from a AE100G, imported from japan. But now that I look at it it really do look simular to the ones from 01-02S. but attachments points are different so they're not the exact same.
    2200mhz: pmed u back
    AE102: too much to list but some of the highlights are; C52 5speed conversion, Wilwood 4 piston front brake upgrade, Cusco/Safety21 5pt roll bar, custom GT25BB turbo kit (will be self-engineered and built). Will keep going with this car until I can afford my dream car; G35 coupe + power enterprise (or greddy) twin turbo kit.. but that's yrs from now, and by then a real ass skyline would be sold here.;) How's the car shopping goin?
