The stance is just right - great job of dialing it in. How's the ride? I'm liking the no bumper front - any more pics of it?
Thanks for the kind words. The ride is good for the most part. But, due to the unshortened shock housings w/ full length shocks and paired w/ low spring rates. I hit the front bump stops when tall uneven surfaces or large dimples on the road appear (due to how low I am). Plus, I have Moosehead Engineering Spherical UCABs, which makes the ride harsh at times. When I had my coilovers adjusted half way up the sleeve, the car rode beautifully. Bottomline, these coilovers aren't mean't to go low. But perfect for a conservative drop. In the future, I will be installing the complete ground control package...
In regards to the front bumper. It's just the stock US early valence, which I cut to the right dimensions to fit the euro turn signals flush in. This will do for now until I find a set of decent euro chrome bumpers. I am hoping I do the euro treatment soon, because I am getting tired of being bumperless. IMO looks cheesy/cheap lol. Once again, Thanks! I appreciate the feedback! I can PM you detailed pics of the front you're that interested. LMK...

I think it's called a 92-x areo. Yea, a re-skinned Impreza WRX Wagon. Honestly I think Saab did a much nicer job on the front end. And you don't have to say you drive a Subaru!

knew a guy with the saabaru, he said all the fun of the WRX but half the insurance cost because it looks like a boring station wagon to the insurance companies.

It has nothing to do with what it 'looks like'. The difference in insurance comes from the fact that no high school kids buy the Saab. Premiums are based on historical costs and a bunch of other factors. Since no derp high schoolers bought Saabs...they are historically unpopular and thus less expensive to insure. I believe the proper way to say it would be 'WRX insurance is HIGH compared to the Saab'...as opposed to 'Saab insurance is cheap compared to the WRX'
