    I sold my immaculate white one 2 years ago and it is much to my regret, particularly seeing how the prices of them have gone now that I would like another! :(

      Hello. Yes. Prices have gone crazy haven’t they?. I don’t think they’ve kept up with what I’ve ploughed in to mine, but at least the cars worth a few bob which is nice.

    Wow love this Fozzy STi 🎉 yeah I’m in USA but would be epic to do a collaboration some how. I went to Iceland 🇮🇸 beginning of 2023 and tried to find the Subaru enthusiasts but was too far south. Your STi is sorted out so we’ll though it’s subtle unlike my STi. It’s been a clone of the UK only V spec for the WRC win. Grand tour just did a big show with a Vspec and my car has become quite popular in USA as we don’t get that here.

    I’d be really keen to know your thoughts on the coil overs, I have a pre facelift SG9 that I’ve owned for 2 years, agree that the standard STI suspension is a little tired.
    Was contemplating Pedders as I’d heard coil overs can be harsh.
    Also, what master cylinder brace do you have….

    • @rev-you1975
      @rev-you1975  Рік тому +1

      Hello. The master cylinder brace is a tegiwa. I’ve only had the coil overs for apprx 2 months. I’m currently dabbling with settings. I only dropped around 10/20. Just to sit the car parallel with the floor. Front down 20 apprx. Back down 10 apprx. I’m set towards soft. I’d say they are comparable to the old Sti shocks. Comfort is great. Road holding is great. I certainly don’t feel like it’s ruined the car. My old Sti shocks were worn out so it’s hard to say. Ideally it would be good try one with coil overs and try one standard back to back. Meister r’s definitely made the car feel very composed on the road. Tight and planted. I daily the car so has to be comfy too.
