No, but the fact that I know loads more about suspension and clearances than most of the people on this forum does.

Call it what you will. What people want to hear isn't always in line with what they need to hear. If that makes me a douche I'd rather be that than yet another person doing a great disservice to the Subaru community. I've done far more to help it in the last 10 years than you and everyone you know combined. Roll your eyes all you want.

I suggest you take a good look at who the ones always starting these 'spats' are anyways. All I did was ask him a question and state that he doesn't need a lower offset to get them to fit and look at how many people came out to attack. I rest my case.

You still need bigger tires. 275s would be a great start.

Kinda wrong it has to be negative offset because + would mean you're not in the girl

Redid the suspension this weekend and lost some track in the rear, but fender clearance is much better:
- AST coilovers
- Stock strut bolts all around (got rid of the rear SPC camber bolts)
- Front and rear camber plates
- stock lateral links

I'm at -3 up front and -2.3 in the rear (more room for adjustment) which makes the car oversteer a little, but I got tired of messing with the rear camber plates.

Going to the mall on Monday.
