I cannot tell if these are brembo or stoptechs! So similar. but after looking again they are not stoptechs.

White logo would have popped more.

It's the XL. It fits pretty easily within the Z, though.

Hopefully second time is a charm....first attempt was a fail.

Custom rebuilt and shortened double adjustable Koni's. Using DGR upper mounts and 7" hypercoil springs.

Are you kidding me?! Why would you NOT drift XXR? These guys arnt show cars... they are very good drifters. Ive seen them drift quite a few times and i can guarantee Ktran's daily wheels are definatly nicer than XXR lol

Cant wait to see these in action Tran!

Nice! 2004 is definitely the best year for the sti in my opinion. Any plans for wheels or anything?

Thanks man. No plans to modify it further at this point. I'm actually trying to find someone local to trade exhausts with...the Invidia is super loud! I mean I love that Boxer rumble, but I feel like it's loud enough to actual cause some hearing loss.

As far as wheels go, I'm going to put some money into buying a set of good all-season tires so that I'm not swapping wheels/tires for winter. I actually really like the stock BBS wheels so I'll probably keep them, but I think spacers are in order. Trying to keep the STi as "economical" as possible.

To tell you the truth...I could probably never get in the Z again. But I'll keep it around anyway and see if I feel the same way in a few months.
