Not to be cheesy but I'm going to be cheesy here....Thank you all for the compliments, it's nice to know others appreciate something I've put a lot of effort into. The car will remain as-is for a while, my next planned addition is new wheels probably toward the end of the year. Nothing crazy, probably just some 18x8 or 8.5 (I like the Enkei ekm3's), and maybe a little more under the hood bling (I like the Zero Sports alternator cover and the SPT front strut bar). Maybe DP and stage 2 flash a little down the road, but being my DD I need to retain a high level of reliability. I'm almost positive I'll be at the Sac meet tomorrow night, so I hope to meet some of you guys there! I will post some nice pics with my good camera hopefully over the weekend.

Tnx bro! I'll definitely stop by and chat. There's been quite a few subies in town. My neighbor has a green rs and a black legacy gt. There's also a wrb bugeye with gold wheels that i see out here at edgewater.

Look forward to meeting you. I've seen a couple Subies around as of late, theres a pizza delievery kid who always waves at me from his '07 (i think) WRX sedan, and there's a silver 08-10 WRX sedan around. Also an 08-10 WRB STI hatch w/ roof rack I always see around. Don't think I've seen the bugeye with the gold rims around yet.

Love the setup! When I have the wife and kid in the car setting the Konis to a quarter over soft provides a nice ride that everyone can live with. I really can't believe how smooth the ride is when on a softer setting. If you wanna have a little fun tighten them up a bit and you're good to go. The springs provided the perfect amount of drop for my taste, just under an inch and a half. I am very happy I went with this setup, being a DD car I think these are more suitable than coilovers or the Bilstein setup which is non-adjustable. Nothing against coils or the bilstein struts, but for me I think this was the right move.

I know I've seen a few of you around. I was in my Jeep over in the Edgewater area & saw a couple of subies pull out from the first road into the area off Erle a few weeks ago. I'm back to driving my wagon this week & saw a WRB late model hatch a couple days ago going over the 10th st bridge into Marysville. My co-worker's brother drives a solar yellow bugeye - I usually see him around Neighbors Pizza/Subway in Olivehurst. I'm on the road between 40 mile road/65 and 20/Harter in Yuba City every weekday on my way to & from work.
We should get together sometime for a weekday meet... or my place is always good on weekends for BBQ & beers. That might be the single advantage of having a corner house - more parking on the street.

I am going to, I had some freak medical issues start up and wasn't able to drive for a while. It's cleared up now, long story short I was diagnosed with epilepsy a few weeks ago. It was painful to just look at my car sitting in front of my house for 3 weeks, lol. But I'm all cleared to drive now, just took a trip to Tahoe this weekend, so you'll be seeing me at a meet soon!
