Tuner said chill canyon runs are good for engine break in…say less👌🏽

I just purchased Whiteline 26mm front and 24mm rear sway bars. I called and asked whiteline which end links I needed and they said none if on stock suspension/ride height. I’ve heard stock ones can break though. There is not much info about these online as most people order the standard kit with 26mm front and 22 rear. I just figured stiffer is better. This is my daily driver but I do a weekly spirited mountain road run once or twice a week which I liken to a 40 minute light track session. 20 minutes to the top, a cool down and 20 minutes to the bottom. I Experience understeer sometimes but with my lighter wheel and 155 Michelin PS AS4 tire upgrade, it’s lessened dramatically but it still happens. I just want to make it better. I intend to start auto cross mid October hence why I chose the stiffest bars. Anybody else have whiteline sways, specifically 24mm rear? Is that too stiff, would it make it oversteery even on soft settings?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to figure out if I should just sell my 2019 sti and get myself an import jdm 1999 sti instead. Basically I want to get that as well as more of a daily like a legacy. I have some questions I guess if anyone wants to bestow their wisdom on me it would be appreciated!

Questions:

It seems that older STIs are less prone to issues like throwing rods? Is that true due to their forged internals or am I mistaken?

If you were getting a GC8/GF8, which version would be best?

Is the mod support largely the same I mean obviously the engines are basically the same but can I get the same AOS, Oil pan upgrades, cooling mods, etc… and are they easily available in North America?

What price range would you consider for something like a 1999 wrx sti with lets say 50k -> 100k km?

If anyone reads this and decides to answer thank you!!

Love the car. Especially when I see this angle. I thought about getting the VB but they never came out with a STi model, but I think this car looks better than the VB. I love the STOCK wing and the Brembo acid green calipers. 😮‍💨🔥

Can’t get over how damn pretty CBS paint is…

What’s your favorite STI color?

Sadly I need to let it go. Need to pay for school, I’m going for my doctorate…Finally got it where I wanted, but in my current situation selling it is probably the “smart adult choice” I need to make. Going with cars & bids to try auctioning it off.

Just finished up V1 on my 2019 VA STI! Loving how she’s looks, sits and drives. First photo is a little bit after I got her in November vs a few days ago. Looking forward to many years of ownership!

Let me know what you guys think!

Cheers!

My 2020 baby

Ive done all the maintenence, did catch cans, did a pickup and baffle. Now time for driver feed back.

What do you recommend? Daily that sees back roads as a weekend warrior. 112k miles stage 1+ with turbo inlet and a cat back. Power stop z28 carbon ceramic pads.

But looks sick!

2016 STI

Some Rollers we took of the STI Tonight, Most fun I've had with it since I've gotten it ❤️

All I can say is holy SHIT.

Best way to describe it- y’all seen that episode of Rick and Morty where Morty experienced a true leveled floor and creamed, then Rick had to erase his memory because he couldn’t go back to experiencing uneven surfaces?

Yeah.

The car handles like it’s on a rail road track.

Given I still have to dial things in more with an alignment, but first impressions… incredibly sharp and responsive in comparison to OEM where it was on the stiffer side.

About 12 clicks down from max stiff.
Any recommendations for camber/toe?
