Local shops make the 6gun 05 sti hub conversion
What is the hub to fender measurement that the "corrected uprights" are built around? I'm a bit confused since the GD WRX and STi are different heights from the factory. Not sure if my car is "lowered".
Thank you.
Thank you.

Its built around one end of the spectrum to the next for each model. We have run the numbers from full droop through full compression to calculate bump steer changes (toe in/toe out) as well as camber gain and/or loss going through that same range.
It's amazing how many cars are completely messed up. Even the car we just did had a "off the shelf" bump steer/roll center kit and it was seeing a 3/16" toe in under full compression. With our kit that bump steer is at 0 (zero). Our kit also see's double the camber gains compared to an aftermarket off the shelf kit.
In regards to if your car is lowered, that's simple to figure out. These parts are intended for cars that are at min 1.5" lower than stock ride height, whether you take that as a hub measurement, side skirt measurement, or going to the chassis really doesn't matter as long as you can repeat the results with a fixed point.
Being as you have rally suspension and full purchased MSI knuckle's (unless something changed since we last spoke?) I doubt you need any of these products. I'm pretty sure you being a guy that works on his own car and has built it, you know if its lowered or not

Those knuckles were returned for manufacturing errors. The hubs were designed without ABS tonerings in mind. I had to threaten TIC with a lawsuit to get my refund after not getting service for almost 5 months. The bandaid repairs they were comming up with was not what I payed for. ****ty for them.

not sure if you notice but we do offer a 5x100 option as well and have offered the ABS/Speedo Ring Spacers for quite some time.
these can also be found in our knuckles catalog: LIC Motorsports Knuckle Catalog

This kit looks more street friendly than what I thought you were going to put on the market originally. 
My hub to fender sits around 13.75". I honestly don't know how low that is. If you go off STI height, it is about 1" lower, WRX height is about 1.5" lower. ???
My car dances while trail-braking. I'm always very nervous of the rear coming around on me. I think the toe curve is the problem. Your uprights might be the ticket to correcting that issue for me.

So uh.. I don't really care about the knuckles at all, I just want to convert to 5x114.3, so what about rear knuckles?
And do any of these fit the 05-09 LGT? Not sure if we're that different or not..

Also your car is only 1" lowered, we say at min 1.5" lower than stock ride height
The info that you missed is in the links of the items and nowhere does it list LGT for fitment.

your statement here is almost comical, i'm glad you don't care, as i don't care that you don't care but yet you still ask your question? It appears that you care? I must of missed something?
