Project WRX

[flintster55]

So I finally sacked up and bought a set of wheels and tires since the stockers and my crappy Goodyear tires left a lot to be desired. I found a set of Rota Torques on VAdriven a few weeks ago. They are gunmetallic (gunmetal) 17x8 +48 wrapped in 235/40 Yokohama rubber. I have to say this mod has been the best bang for the buck out of everything I have done so far, in performance as well as looks. Handling is drastically improved. Turn in is crisp but there is still a hint of understeer. I hope to fix this with sway bars in the near future. Road noise is a little high but thats a sacrifice I'm more than willing to make.

Sorry for the pitiful cell phone pics- Ill get some real camera pics up soon
