Where’d youd find the ic? Rest looks good, easy install? Did you get your ps issue straightened out, and what drop and rate are the H&Rs? Are they going on oem struts? Ride looks good tho ---

[xreaction122](http://shift518.com/member.php?u=488) - thanks [Quattro!](http://shift518.com/member.php?u=2270) - i found the intercooler on nasioc. im just waiting for it to be delivered. the sti splitter took about 15 mins because i had to take the clips out of my stock one and use them for the sti bellows. the intercooler should be an easy install once i have a bracket made for one of the mounts. i will be installing the h&r springs on sti struts (when i can find a set). the drop is probably about 2", not sure of the rates offhand. the picture of the saabaru with the orange rims have the sti/h&r combo installed. ---

installed the prodrive muffler. what a bitch. i had to cut off the rusted ass bolts and basically take down most of the exhaust so i could get to the upper bolt. ![http://i1025.photobucket.com/albums/y311/crxgator2/prodrive01.jpg](http://i1025.photobucket.com/albums/y311/crxgator2/prodrive01.jpg) ![http://i1025.photobucket.com/albums/y311/crxgator2/prodrive02.jpg](http://i1025.photobucket.com/albums/y311/crxgator2/prodrive02.jpg) [youtu.be/pZBjtBVt1EE](https://youtu.be/pZBjtBVt1EE) ---

i picked up a complete set of 06 STi suspension (struts, springs, tophats) and i put the strut cartridges into my 04 STi housings, and installed the H&R springs and top hats today. I had to do this because two struts were bad on the 04 set, plus i heard the 06 sti struts are valved a little harder. I’ll probably install them either tomorrow or next weekend. ![http://i1025.photobucket.com/albums/y311/crxgator2/suspension.jpg](http://i1025.photobucket.com/albums/y311/crxgator2/suspension.jpg) ![http://i1025.photobucket.com/albums/y311/crxgator2/06stistruts.jpg](http://i1025.photobucket.com/albums/y311/crxgator2/06stistruts.jpg) ![http://i1025.photobucket.com/albums/y311/crxgator2/06stisprings.jpg](http://i1025.photobucket.com/albums/y311/crxgator2/06stisprings.jpg) ---
