Smile My 2005 Wagon...the modding continues!

Well after a year of running Sti Wagon pinks I decided to play with a new setup. I purchased a set of Sprint springs from another Suby member. While I have lost some performance, I was well aware that I would, I must admit the new dop is VERY aggressive! Sprint rates the springs to have a 2.7 inch drop F/R. See for yourself

Mods...

Cobb AP
DP
UP
Sprint Springs
Sti Foglight covers
Sti Splitters
Sti Grill
Advan Sienna II sized 18"
Goodyear F1 rubber, 235/18/40
Stewart Warner Gauges: Boost, Oil Temp, Oil Press.
Defi Gauge pod
Settings -1 Degree camber Front, Stock rear with 0 degree Toe







Enjoy!,

AJ =)

Yeah, that's an absolutely *perfect* drop. And the rear shot kills me, since 05/06 wagon tails aren't a direct swap w/o modification to the wiring... I want '05s so bad.

Nah, leave the roof rail. It gives it a "pedestrian" look. Nothing like a bit of understatement to it. You get smoked by that thing, and then your buddy says to ya, "Damn, you just got smoked by a wagon.....WITH ROOF RACKS!"

Lol, that's one way to look at it. Plus, I use mine every winter for the snowboards and every summer for the bikes.

Hell, why not, especially if your roof doesn't get all scratched up. Just don't go putting a Christmas tree up there! They wreak havoc!
