I previously owned an 02 WRX wagon w/Vishu Stage 1 kit.; sold it for a Porcsche cab Careera - big mistake. When the 09 STi came out, I knew I had to have one. I went through their internet sales / flleet manager, Mike. He gave me a quote onlline and three months later he still honored it! I sold the Porsche and went down on a Sunday afternoon to pick up the STi. His numbers were spot on and the car was washed and ready for me to take home. Very, very great transaction and experience!

oh goodness.
This was my first response as I started taking my "usual course" for the first time after comfort ALK install. The turn in is immediate, and even though I never thought the STI understeered significantly (at least not to my stock 04 Civic Si), it was a night and day difference.
Sharper turn in, less effort. Car seems "willing" to turn now. Incredible change, i can see why they all say it's one of the best bang-for-the-buck upgrades.

Install was easy. Noticed a slight increase in throttle response. Noise is slightly noticeable from the BOV & turbo; changed to a K&N OEM style filter. Bought this because I want to get rid of the snorkus and still keep the stock appearance.

I have been looking to replace my factory knob for a long time now in my 2004 STi. I was browsing a Richmond VA meet thread over at nasioc and found out that "Chris" from Killer B Motorsport LLC was coming down with some products. Since Killer B is well known around iwsti for the improved oil pick up, I sent him a pm asking him if he would bring the cylinder shift knob with him.
Everyone met up at the location but due to local rice problems we had to move the meet to a unknown location, which was a better spot. After checking out some cars, a user by the name "Rippen Griffen" was trying to call "Chris" because he thought we lost him while driving to the new location. I informed "Rippen" that Chris was actually here and his black t-shirt says something like "I'm the Stig". After finding Chris we walked over to his car to check out the products. Rippen was looking at his awesome radiator shrouds which Chris had in his trunk. I asked Chris if he brought any shift knobs with him. At which time he let me sit in his car and feel the "Sphere" version that was mounted to his shifter.
After checking out the Sphere version I asked Chris if he brought any "Cylinder" style knobs with him. Chris handed me the Cylinder style and I checked out both of them. After a few seconds I looked at Chris, smiled and said I will take this one holding up the Cylinder version. After receiving the price amount, I drove to the ATM to pick up the money. Returned to the meet and now a proud owner of his Cylinder style shifter knob. I installed the knob there which didn't take long since both knobs screw on and off.
It started to get dark and the temps were dropping, so everyone was started to leave. I got into my drivers seat and grabbed the shifter, it felt so great. Left the location and pulled onto the main street. After pulling onto the main street I had a choice to make. One, take the interstate home or Two sit in rush hour traffic. Due to the knob feeling so great and smooth, I decided to sit in rush hour traffic . The intersate could have gotten me home in five minutes, but rush hour gave me a extra thirty minutes to hold the shift knob.
If your looking for a shift knob/quality products "Killer B Motorsport" is the way to go!!

I've been in the automotive business for years, and these are some of the nicest struts I've seen.
Adjustability is easy; just turn the knob, feel the click, and start counting to set the damping.
The fact that the adjuster is on the bottom is really nice for coupe/STi guys are you don't have to remove the rear seat to adjust.
The range of adjustment is huge; lower settings feel very BMW-ish as you get into the higher settings these get EXTREMELY stiff.
Overall, an expensive product that is well worth it

I too love this tire! It grips fantastically! I haven't auto-x'ed or tracked this tire, but it has performed excellently on the street. Trying to make that quick right on a yellow light? These tires will hold steady, steadier than any other tire I've experienced. I can't wait to get them on the track or to auto-x.

Extremely happy I bought this. I've got an 06 STI, with the A/C lines hardest to clear...fit on after some trial and error.
*To the people who say Front Strut Bars are a waste of money, I call B.S., you must not be driving hard enough to notice!*
Off the bat: freeway ride is NOW TOLERABLE. (have Swift Spec R springs) feels almost like a German ride. For sure, the CA freeway jiggle is gone. Feels like the springs/struts are finally working together as a unit. Also, on my regular weekend road course, I don't feel the front end washing out as much in the same turns at the same speeds. Feels much more confident, like I have more GRIP.
One of the best bang for the buck purchases for the Subie!
+1 for GST Motorsports who sourced me the parts, thanks GREG!

i had the invidia n1, it was loud and droning but did sound very nice, got a exhaust mod ticket and got a borla. borla hush was not as quiet as i thought(i have a titek downpipe) but quiet enough. looks very stock other than saying borla on top of the tips. when you push your car its pretty loud up there but thats with every exhaust. i dont know why it doesnt come with a 3inch adapter too being priced at 722....which is over priced. found mines for about 580 shipped NEW(quote scoobie8 "(not to mention your girlfriends nagging mouth saying, "Its too loud!!!!!")" true that)
