If any of them do anything like that again, I will disable their legs

Not much done to the motor. Blitz SUS intake, Borla Hush catback. This will be the extent of the mods for now. Up next are sway/strut bars and tires soon after.

Looking good Josh. I gotta take a ride one day to see how firm that STi suspension is. You running spacers for the STi wheels?

RUSS! you MUST drive this one! This is what I wanted our XTs to feel like. The ride is MUCH firmer w/out being punishing. The suspension, along with the STi wheels/tires makes for a sharp ride. There is NO floatiness left from the stock suspension/wheels and it corners almost flat. All that's left for me to add are the sway/strut bars.

I didn't use the spacers in the rear. I've been watching for rubbage between the tire/strut, but there hasn't been any, even under hard cornering with and without a load inside. It's close, but it's fine. I believe these wheels have the maximum permittable offset on the XTs.

Very cool, Josh! I'll be looking for your FXT to represent again at the next autox! I think some folks will be blown away!
