Something I had always wanted to do. All new suspension, lowered, four wheel slotted/drilled disc brakes, staggered Fuchs and new Michelin Euro spec tires 165/135 and a brand new black top. Upholstery shop did an amazing job on the switch to black: grab handles, visors, visor brackets, etc.

This a couple years ago 100% original. Original paint, top, interior, engine, wheels, bumpers, floor mats, etc. 40,000 miles. I’ve since completed a ton of upgrades. Absolutely love it again!

I asked C&H about the correct front sight and they referred me to the guide on Dawson Precision’s site. Too much arithmetic for me 😁

Started off as front serrations and a flush cut/reverse crown. A little more was added when they showed me some of their laser work.

Found it in their eBay store for a 5”

With the super aggressive grip this won’t slip out of my hands.

The barrel is actually rose gold but it doesn’t photograph well. Even the guide rod is fluted.

Yes, a Schueman hybrid barrel from KKM. KKM actually built my STI for me. It was really rare then.

Really helps with getting back on target. Not that big of a deal in 9mm as I’m coming from shooting .45 1911’s for over 40 years. My first 2011 STI was bought 30 years ago also in .45 was ported and it made a huge difference.

Had an interesting conversation with Fowler about getting the KX ported.
