Impreza STI widetrack.

A pair of cheap "copies" of the Perrin wing stabilizers popped up on my ebay suggestions. They're literally less than a third of the price. Took a punt to see what they're like (always wondered why no one had copied Perrin as they're basically bits of plastic) and they are fine !
As this video shows. . . .


I'll paint them satin black (as he did) to get rid of the no name branding. Wondering for all the price of them should I get more?
There's fixings for 5, 3, or 2.

I’d either do 8 of them to rip the piss, or none. Not for me.

 

[Stu Beck]

Two of them is perfect.

[CharlySkunkWeed]

Dont think there's a right answer.
At least they're easily taken off. . . If I do fit them that is.

Personally I'm not a fan of them but if you like them then go for it!

This thread is making me want another Impreza

 

[bigsigh]

I like them , would be 2 for me

 

[mpowered]

4 Wing Stiffies is the correct amount

 

[Ben]

Think 5 is the current record. Please beat it Adam.

I'll just get 10, stick the other 5 on top of the spoiler

 

[Mel]

Anymore than 2 is a no from me

 

[Graham]

4vlooks good on that black car. How many uprights did the WRC car have on its carbon wing?

 

[TheDaniel]

I love them tbh. Looks awesome.

2 or 4 for me. 5 looks a little OTT.

 

[CharlySkunkWeed]

WRC had 4 but mine has 5 fixing points. So it's either 1, 2, or 5. Wouldn't want to be drilling my own fixings to make the spacing look right.

 

[Gambit]

2 if you must. I never liked them either

I think if there is a bit more done to the car they look good.

 

[BrookST]

I think 2 looks good

 

[dh1079]

I’d go two

 

[_James_]

I take the two you bought and throw them in the bin. Otherwise a rather lovely motor!

 

[CharlySkunkWeed]

Had the car jacked up today, trying to find the source of an irritating sweak. It's a front right bush of som sort but can't pin it down to which bit.
Found that some of the metal cable ties for the heat wrapped exhaust had broke off so replaced them. Also found that the 2 front Michelin PS4 are needing replaced soon.
Am I best putting the new ones on the front or back ?

Cold start. Hayward and Scott full decat. #subaru #impreza #wrx #sti #prodrive #turbo

How worn are the other 2? On Imprezas I’ve always replaced all 4 when needed

Not bad, 2017 is the date on them so could probably do with replacing anyway.
I'd be inclined to get all 4 done aswell but I've just bought tyres for the Audi winter wheels while the good wheels go for a refurb, which I'd prefer getting new tyres for aswell.
3 sets of branded tyres at once will be fun

 

[mk2driver]

Not ideal but as you know it would be better to get all 4 done together and then rotate as you need to

 

[-Pete-]

new ones on the rear. nothing wrong with replacing just a pair. not everyone can afford to splurge 500 quid on new tyres in one go and there's no need to unless they're worn enough. Hardly going to change all 4 if only the fronts are worn.

 

[CharlySkunkWeed]

So in Adam's world , maybe needing two new tyres turned into buying 4 new wheels and Michelin Pilot Supersport tyres.
Thanks to @Davey@Procar at Procar and @RubberLover and the guys at Ivan Kerrs tyres for getting me sorted.

Also got plates made up today but haven't assigned the reg to the car yet.
