I believe gr stands for the third generation sti, not the chassis code

The 19 inch wheels didnt handle like the 18's do on the evo. The 18's feel a lOt better to me on the evo. It's probably the same for the sti

Everyone needs new toys. I sold my z for a 135i (n54) and certainly enjoy the turbo and torque. Nick (esfourteen) prob had me in mind when he mentioned your gonna love tq.

My 135 is pretty damn fast and I ran into a built motor sti hatch with an fp red on e85 and the thing was an absolute monster. Sounds beautiful as well.

He's gotta be on the forums plate is v8killa from NY and has cambered out ssr's I believe. Def a super hot car done right.

Good luck

19's would probably look good on the STi especially if lowered, but not at the cost of hindering function and handling.

19's do look good but I want it to handle. I'm sticking to 18's this time lol. The z sale is pending. Hope I can get into the sti next week. I found a '12 sedan here that I have my eye on

i've been consdering thesame idea lol...Rin is basically done, I might as well use some journal space for the WRX but I feel bad talking about it in the Z journal area.
