My 08 DGM Impreza
I've had the car for a few years now, never really drove it. But had little things done here and there.. Sport grille, rear chrome piece replaced with color matched STi one, lowered on Eibach Springs before, Perrin Short Antenna, OEM front lip, Blox Neo chrome shift ****, etc.
A few weeks ago.. I had Speed Element order some BC Racing Coilovers for me, and installed the Seibon STi spoiler on the same day.
Then a few days after, I borrowed some Rota Torques just to see how I would like them. On stock alignment still, notice the zero camber upfront, lol.
A week ago, the front lip got torn off when I was driving
Hopefully, I'll be replacing it next week though.
And... currently I finally got some wheels I like! NEW fitment, Rota Grids 17X9.5 +35. I had Auto Innovation install some 235/40/17 on them! -2.3 upfront, -3 rear. Maxed out the camber uptop and bottom in the front, rear isn't camber adjustable sadly =( So what you see in the rear, is natural.
I'm going to get the full lip kit eventually, along with vinyling my tail lights partially red.
Short Mod list currently:
BC Racing Coilovers
Rota Grids 17x9.5+35
Federal 595 235/40/17
Seibon STi spoiler
Sport grille
Rear chrome piece replaced with color matched STi one
OEM front lip
Blox Neo chrome shift ****
Perrin Short Antenna

To OP: Nice ride! I just got the same color 2011 Impreza 2.5i wagon base myself. Best color ever!
Got any pics when you were on Eibach springs? How was it? Did you blow your struts/shocks?

I do have pictures when it was on eibach but I'll post later when I'm home
I don't think it was blown after inspecting them, just wanted to upgrade or go lower I mean

I believe the "standard" way to adjust dampers is to start at full stiff and count clicks as you go towards soft, apparently that is an important detail.
Don't know if that is how you did it but you may want to keep it in mind. I only mention it because of the way you were counting clicks makes it sound like you did it a different way.
