Was very hesitant to 18" after seeing how good the 19s look on my year, but the weight and price of the traklites are a no brainer. FYI: 2018 / 2019 STI OEM 19's weigh 28.4 EACH. With tires, each wheel comes to about 54.5 lbs. The 18x9 traklites weigh only 19lbs each, so that's nearly a 10lb reduction in each corner.

What brand springs are on this car?

Just out of curiosity, what lowering springs did Michael put on his STi to achieve a 1.5-inch drop? I'm currently in the market for springs; coilovers are too expensive for a daily! Also, I am choosing the wheel spacer route instead of getting offset wheels because I cannot afford new wheels and I've heard that, as long as everything is torqued appropriately, spacers have nearly the same effect on the bearings and suspension geometry as offset wheels do.

Hi Joe, it’s so true what you say, I tell people that you can almost not find a stock STI and the amount of aftermarket products available is crazy. If you recall in one of your previous videos I sent a list of all the mods I had done already. Well it’s modding season again for me, yesterday I installed wind deflectors, today I will install Subispeed sweeping S4 bezels, New Lugnuts, interior door overlay protectors, New cartridge for my air freshener, and a new magnetic mount for my cell phone LOL. A couple weeks ago I tinted my windows. Next month I will get the Cobb access port, Cobb SF intake, IAG air oil separator, and a professional tune from one of the best tuners in the country. Then I’m going to send my headlights to Circuit Demon for some crazy work done: blacking out, modified technologies C lights, multicolor Halo’s, multicolor demon eyes 👍

Amir Hossein Salamatian well that’s really an apple to orange type of comparison. Best for the money I’m going with the STI. Don’t get me wrong I ALMOST bought a 370Z before my Subaru back in 2015. One of the MAJOR issues for me with the 370Z was that the car really hasn’t been updated since 2009. So the interior plastics are a little off compared to new cars. The AWD in the Subaru helps outperform the 370Z especially in the right hands or wet conditions. The Subaru of course has waaaay more room. It really comes down to personal preference.

Hi Joe, out of all the manufactures I have only been involved with Subaru enthusiast car groups. Also the only car I have really modified is my Subaru. Therefore I am really curious how the other manufacturer based car groups compare , for example Lexus, BMW, Ford, or evo. Since you have had many different types of cars, do you have experience with the other groups? how would you compare the different groups? I have often heard Subaru has a wonderful community but I have never experienced other communities. I go to a lot of car meets and I see a lot of different cars there but within manufacture base groups I am curious how they differ. Thanks

@RaitisRides

6 жыл бұрын

It's interesting because I really feel such a close brotherhood when it comes to Subaru groups. When it comes to Porsche groups they are very tracked focused and do many track day events or autocross events. You always get that huge rival between the Mustang groups and Camaro groups. Depending where you go the age of the members of the group can greatly vary. I think it's great when I see older individuals modeling good behaviors for younger members. I remember when I was 17 I bought myself a Corvette and joined a local Corvette club. I was the youngest member but learned so much from everyone in the group. To be honest a lot has to do with the person's personality. Many times we seek out those that are close to ourselves. So that is going to be a huge factor on how you interpret how a group acts. The bottom line is it's good to try to keep an ope mind and enjoy all tat the car world has to offer. I really love going to car gatherings, rather then car shows because they are so lid back and everyone is there just to share the passion. I hope this answers your question. Thanks for asking it!

Always liked the STI, I just feel they have lost something over the years. They really need to do something about that EJ, I think its time Subaru.......It's time. The cars haven't been the same since they pulled out of rally, maybe not getting the same R & D they use to get having a full time rally team.

dang, my goal is to save enough money to buy/trade to get an sti, greatest car in the world

The ikon Motorsport you call "splitter" is actually called a "front lip." A front splitter is something way different from a front lip. Also, the roof diffuser you call is actually called an vortex generator.

Stussy _STI isn’t a “front lip” the rigid extension of the lower part of the front bumper?

Raiti's Rides Front lip, mostly used by everyone for appearance and "lowered car look," but can also be used for aerodynamics. Front lips are drilled into the bumper like the ikon Motorsport one(I know cuz it's on my sti too). However, a real "front splitter" is mounted on the chassis, so people can stand on the splitter and won't break off because the weight distribution is supported by being mounted on the chassis. Real "front splitters" are used for aero dynamics such as downforce. Most front splitters out there that people have on the car are not real. They're not chassis mounted and serve no performance aspect, but serve as an "appearance" mod. They mount directly to the front lip and if you stand on it, it'll tear right off with the front lip. I mean I guess they could offer some downforce? Also, you can distinguish a front lip and a front splitter easily because the front lip would look bulky and aggressive, but a front splitter is fairly low profile and flat. I'm not an expert at all this, i may be wrong, but this is all I know from my past research and knowledge. As for the vortex generator and its purpose, there's a lot of videos out there explaining. I just happen to know the names of most of the parts that are put in the subie 😂

Love the video, I own a WRX, not an STI, but still, I love the car, I still haven’t modded it too much though, but I’m looking into it. Also, vortex generator* lol, but yeah, looks nice

Nothing against the video, as this dude clearly knows what he's talking about. But for the noob watching, the boxer in and of itself doesn't really provide a rumble. That sound specifically is created by the unequal length headers in the STI. 2014 WRX also had this sound but in 2015 they went to equal length headers in the WRX.
