What tires are you going to go with? I had Yokohama geolander AT/S on one impreza and General grabber AT2 on my other. ---

You should REALLY put the billet subframe spacers in with this modification. Fucks the suspension geometry all up. Quite easy to install and you do not have to fully drop the subframes down to install them ---

Here are some pics of the tires for reference, The generals were WAY cooler looking, but the Yokohamas were far superior in everyday driving. ![http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l299/dgage3/lift2.jpg](http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l299/dgage3/lift2.jpg) ![http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l299/dgage3/lift3.jpg](http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l299/dgage3/lift3.jpg) ![http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l299/dgage3/impreza1.jpg](http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l299/dgage3/impreza1.jpg) ![http://s99.photobucket.com/user/dgage3/media/Side1.jpg.html?sort=3&o=59](http://s99.photobucket.com/user/dgage3/media/Side1.jpg.html?sort=3&o=59) ![http://s99.photobucket.com/user/dgage3/media/lift2.jpg.html?sort=3&o=35](http://s99.photobucket.com/user/dgage3/media/lift2.jpg.html?sort=3&o=35) ---

I have no choice but to go with the Geolanders. I am not dealing with removing the Brembo brakes so I have to stick with the 17" wheel. The Grabbers don’t come in the size I would need. Hopefully getting the tires this week with an alignment shortly after at Albany Speed Shop. ---

Put the new tires on her last night. Gained a bit more lift… not including the exhaust (hangs just slightly lower), I have 8" of ground clearance at the lowest point. The best part is that my speedo has been off for a long time now and apparently it just meant she wanted the lift and tires because it is dead on now… lol. ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f367/offroadzj/2004%20Subaru%20STI/IMG_20130412_063739_629_zps3d36eca8.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f367/offroadzj/2004%20Subaru%20STI/IMG_20130412_063739_629_zps3d36eca8.jpg) Yes, that is a Forester next to me, and yes I am fairly certain my car sits higher (definitely has more ground clearance at the least)… ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f367/offroadzj/2004%20Subaru%20STI/IMG_20130412_063800_720_zpsec6c047e.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f367/offroadzj/2004%20Subaru%20STI/IMG_20130412_063800_720_zpsec6c047e.jpg) ---

This makes me want another one, but a wrx/sti this time with a not so good body so no fucks given driving can happen. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/big-change-for-the-sti/266698.md?page=1)
