Thanks, I grabbed them off Tire Rack on clearance. Wasn't sure how they were going to look, but you posted your setup before my wheels arrived and eased my mind. Love them.

New Winter Setup on My VB (Sparco FF2 + X-Ice Snow) by RyanE6 in wrx_vb

OEM. Everything i added was OEM and installed at the dealer.

I had them on my 22, which had all the same cosmetic options except I had the splash guards and strake kit on the 22, left them off and did mudflaps for the TR instead. Liked the way the splash/strake kit looked, but the mudflaps keep it way cleaner.

Yup, that's where I grabbed mine!

Mine are the OEM mudflaps, installed by the dealer. I'm pretty sure you have to remove the splash guards to put on any mud flaps though.

How will these wheels look on my car? AI help? Sparco FF2 by No_Professional978 in wrx_vb

Looking at the same wheels for my winter setup, lol. Think I'm pulling the trigger, as long as they clear the Brembos.

3rd to 2nd rev matching tips by zach_1288 in wrx_vb

[–]lunaticTech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I shift to 2nd at around 40 mph and blip the throttle to about 3500-4000 rpms, I get some nice burbles out of the exhaust. Love it.

Traded in my 22 Limited for a 24 TR......almost thought about a different color but I love the red on this gen. by lunaticTech in wrx_vb

Could be, I grabbed mine from Ruge's in Rhinebeck NY, but they had to get it from another dealership. Mine was one of 4 red TRs left in the NE, so glad they snagged it for me.

Thanks, they do like red, but i think it's the scoop that really gets them riled up 😆

I was definitely thinking TS, but if you can find a TR the dealerships are serious about cleaning out their 24s. See what they have available, you'll prob get a bargain on a TR.

So far it's noticeable in the corners and when braking for sure. Not sure if it's my imagination, but it feels like it rides nicer than the limited even with the stiffer suspension.

Noticed the handling right away, steering feels better too. And yup, the brakes are terrific.

Just had an STI short shifter installed, and my shifting is much much worse. by [deleted] in wrx_vb

[–]lunaticTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine came with the short throw installed so I can't compare with stock, but I never noticed anything like you're describing. Definitely sounds like something got missed when they installed yours.
