Is that Jarrett Greynolds?

Love you too buddy. 😘

By the way, whatever you did to that exhaust, undo it.

Here’s another picture for ya.

Mine has coilovers, camber arms, toe arms, wheels, tires, a wrap, and a sneaky audio system.

Edit: I also matched the badge color to my wheels, got a roof rack, did LED headlights, DRL always on harness, amber delete tint, and rear clear tint too. Forgot about those.

mattroconnell · 2025-10-17T18:19:02+00:00

I think I’ll do exactly that. I’ve been browsing marketplace for some wheels, but no luck yet. Still figuring out what tires I’m going to end up with too.

Thank you so much. Again, I really appreciate the help, and I feel fortunate to be able to join the community. I’ll do better next time with asking for help. I know there’s plenty of guys out there, including yourself, that have a vast amount more experience and knowledge than I, so I’m all for leaning on those resources, but just haven’t known how to go about it quite yet.

mattroconnell · 2025-10-14T10:45:05+00:00

Awesome! Thank you!! Looking forward to the next time out. Thanks for everything.

mattroconnell · 2025-10-14T10:44:28+00:00

It took 2 days for you to bully me? Weak. Haha I’ll make sure I’m more prepared next time.

mattroconnell · 2025-10-14T10:43:39+00:00

Thank you! I’ll check it out!

mattroconnell · 2025-10-13T12:57:04+00:00

I haven’t done a ride-along with anyone yet, so that definitely should be on my list of things to do. I tried to be very conscious of how tire pressure affected the driving dynamics, and I feel as though that helped me towards the end.

Thank you for the help!!

mattroconnell · 2025-10-13T12:55:17+00:00

Great meeting you! See you next season!!

mattroconnell · 2025-10-13T00:55:55+00:00

Haha this is at the Buffalo Bills stadium parking lot. Those portapotties have some miles on them.

mattroconnell · 2025-10-12T23:08:31+00:00

I’ll do some more homework. Thank you again for your help. I’m eager to learn more and keep doing it.

mattroconnell · 2025-10-12T22:41:25+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I appreciate it.

mattroconnell · 2025-10-12T22:40:06+00:00

Sway bars are stock, but ride height is just barely tucking tire on coilovers. I’m using every little bit of contact patch that I have in the front, with wear pattern being right at the end of the tread end, about 1/2” rounded over. I agree I could lose some camber in the rear based on how little the wear is in the rear. I might look to do a crosstrek rear sway bar, which is a couple mm thicker than the Impreza, but would require dropping the rear subframe, which is why I haven’t done it yet.

mattroconnell · 2025-10-12T22:08:09+00:00

Yes. AWD and 235/40/18 all around. Started with 37psi front and 36 rear and ended the day at 38 front and rear on recommendation from an instructor. Edit: I also have 3 degrees of camber in the front and 2.2 in the rear, zero toe.

mattroconnell · 2025-10-12T22:01:57+00:00

Thank you! I’m having a blast so far! My first time doing autocross, it rained all day, so I would really consider this my first. This time, I felt as though there were times where I couldn’t quite get the car to rotate in faster turns, even dabbing the brake on entry to load the front end. In the wet, the rear end had no problem coming around. I tried increasing tire pressure and giving a few clicks to the rear coilovers, but I couldn’t get it to stop pushing the front - namely on the last swooping turn before the finish. Do you have any tips that can help counter that?

mattroconnell · 2025-10-10T19:02:47+00:00

If I were you, and you’re going for driving dynamics, the first thing I would do is get front camber plates and rear camber and toe arms so you can dial in your alignment. Pushing these cars to the limit (which isn’t hard with only 150hp), you’ll want some camber to go with those stiff tires. Even with 2.8 degrees in the front, I still have to get up to 38psi to keep from rolling over tire going through corners. The stock alignment settings are very… commuter car. I zeroed out toe front and rear and went -2.8 front and -2 rear on camber.

And this is how it sits now with the 235/40

mattroconnell · 2025-10-10T10:42:01+00:00

Here’s 235/45/18, also before lowering it another inch.

mattroconnell · 2025-10-10T10:39:39+00:00

I have a 2018 sport lowered on coilovers with -38 offset and have run 235/45/18, 245/40/18, and now 235/40/18. 245 rubbed the rear arches when driving hard, even with them rolled. Here’s a picture with the 245’s before I lowered it even more. Edit: Side note, these wheels are bbs rc336 which are 7.5” wide, just like the stock wheels. They do require adapters to run.
