I have no problem with running 295's. Being so low that you cannot navigate a driveway is retarded. There is no reason to be that low. And if anyone did research, our Subaru's handle worse being that low. So having 295's means nothing for handling when you are so low that you cannot even back out of a normal looking driveway.

i have to disagree. He does have a very expensive Vortex rear diffuser that he didnt want to scratch up.

Also im hardly low at all and still have to do the same thing he does. Backing out of a driveway does not determine how function-able a car is. Supercars wouldn't be able to even get out of his driveway let alone go sideways lol

With that being said I do agree he is more show than go, but it doesn't matter. To each their own

What he's talking about is functional suspension angles. When you go too low you destroy those which decreases the overall function if your suspension. There are parts that correct that but my money is on him not having them let alone knowing what they are.

Comparing a subaru to a supercar is like comparing a subaru to a monster truck. Designed for different things from the ground up.

Only weighing in on that right now.

Took this yesterday!

When is the next run?

Also, Cypress Coast Subaru has a great selection of Subies right now. 1 BRZ, 2 STI, several WRX. Maybe we'll see a few new members from the peninsula soon.

All i was trying to say is reversing out of a driveway has absolutely nothing to do with how functionable the car is or isnt.

That's what I'm saying, even when my parents had a CTS-V the front bumper would scrape stock. No use in arguing though. Everyone mods different.
