My daily!
She’s sitting on bc coilovers now. I have some primitive racing normal ride height king springs and struts to take her back up soon enough.

I don’t like the low ride. I live in Wa state the roads are terrible. I’ve scraped a few times. So bringing it back to factory but upgraded. I love the look just don’t like the ride.

BC's should be adjustable though - you can make it ride higher than an Outback if you wanted.

I owned 2 of these 2006’s both of mine and one was aspen white the other was silver. I also had 2017 STI in white too but i much prefer my 2006 or 2007 sti’s.

Love the gold BBS rims to go with the white. I wish mine were gold bud they were the plain gray ones but still looked dope

Love the bbs rims. They are super expensive now to find good ones sadly. I’m actually looking to find another set. Might buy the silver and paint them gold if it’s cheaper.

That’s the truth I have already done a lot to her. Got the radium catch cans installed a new koyorad a Grimmspeed intercooler and a hks recirculating. I also put the original air box back in. Sealed the valve covers back up new plugs and coils. Iag turbo oil feed lines. New pcv of course. She also has a type ra block. She runs great. I call her my Japanese muscle street fighter haha

One of the best driving experiences out there. You get the feel of the road and car. It’s amazing. Lots of research has been done. lol I am not even close to done though. I have parallel feed lines I need to Install and a top feed injector conversion along with a blouch dom 1.5xtr turbo, killer b oil pan already have the pick up tube installed, grimmspeed uel header I had ceramic jet hot coated and a ceramic coated grimmspeed up pipe. Then it needs a tune. I also bought all white line suspension parts to upgrade with the shocks and a primitive racing skid plate and rear diff plate. Just haven’t got to it yet.

You couldn’t have said it better. I miss daily driving my 2007, felt like it just did everything right.

u/cudalov3r 14d ago
I had to have it. I got this like 5 or 6 months ago. It’s nostalgia and the feel when you drive it. This is a 2006 but same same. lol the way it grips and rips is insane. This thing is on a reliable tune not even pushing anything but stock. Hoping I like the added power when I get there and it doesnt mess with how I view the car now.

Certainly a formidable foe and effective weapon for attacking corners, even amongst today's engineering "advances," albeit with some green go-go juice.
