those are the optional bbs for the bugeye wrx right?
whatever they are, they look great. you need to paint your rear bumper though.
oh yeah what size are they?

jake15 · Post by **jake15** » Fri May 12, 2006 6:54 am

yup, got them for a good price too

yes, the whole car needs a re-paint, but thats later down the list after i get done beating the body up

i think they're 17x7.5 55mm offset

I'm sure I'll see it in person, but the pics make it hard to tell. Like you said, the camera.

Suspension specs, for the sake of the thread?

Nice lookin' ride, the black rear bumper makes me thinks of a red/black AE86. dunno why...

You should teach me how to put the scoop on there, I've got a WRB stock wrx scoop I want to put on it when I repaint my car.

Looks very nice

I didn't know they sold those rims on Subi's here, where did you get them? Did they come gold? I really like them because of course the 22b lol. Overall she looks good

thanks. they're the factory option BBS wheels for the WRX. i got them from a guy i work with here at PIA. they're not gold, its just the crappy light/camera. they're actually silver with a polished lip

and putting the scoop on wasn't too hard, i just i ground all the mouting places off of the hoodscoop so it would sit flush on the hood, and positioned it where i wanted it with some tape, secured it firmly with lots of tape, and then i drilled some holes through the scoop and the hood, then rivited the scoop in place, removed the tape, waxed it, then you have to admire it

Mine wants to chop my balls off and throw them in a blender.

Have you seen those roll center adjusters from trackmonkey racing? They're hott! We should get some.

these rims are so light they're ridiculous, i think i'm going to be hanging on to them

and thanks guys!! i love the way it looks and rides right now, its stiff, but not coilover stiff. now i just need a front swaybar and i think i'll be done with suspension for a little while

i haven't seen the trackmonkey roll center adjusters. how much? their website is down now so i cant look.

Larger front swaybar = understeer =

Yes yes i know... but i have a perrin adjustable RSB now, and absolutely no front sway bar (put it on the grey t-leg i had couple months ago because it didnt have one, and forgot to switch it back when i sold the car) so now i have NO front swaybar. i know it increases understeer, but in conjunction with the bigger RSB it makes the car feel like its on rails, and i likes that alot!!!

that = false

Big front bar is good, it doesn't increase understeer until you go past the limit of your tires, up until then it keeps the suspension in a better place as far as camber and roll go. So go as big as you can.

BTW your wheels are sex.

BAC5.2 · Post by **BAC5.2** » Sun May 14, 2006 4:24 am

But don't larger bars ultimately limit wheel travel, which prevents the front wheels from gaining camber under compression, which would promote understeer.

I mean, isn't that why big rear bars promote oversteer? They just don't allow the rear wheels to gain camber under compression.

THAWA · Post by **THAWA** » Sun May 14, 2006 7:20 am

You're absolutely right, bigger bar limits travel, this keeps the wheels in a better area of the camber curve. If you had a smaller bar in the same situation your suspension would be gaining positive camber, not negative. More wheel travel = more positive camber in our suspension, after a point anyway. You want to keep it from getting to that point. It's one of the downsides to macpherson strut suspension.
