How do you find yours? What difference does the dial make in the centre console i.e more responsive?

ha ha - not telling, its a surprise

There is a thread somewhere on here where we discussed the different settings, dial and DCCD but I remember the best (most fun) setting being switching the c diff to manual then minimum setting, turning the TCS off (hold the button for 3 seconds) and selecting s#

Do this when you have got used to it a bit though

Yeah will get used to it first!

I didn't seem that much quicker than my WRX blobeye on the test drive, but I am sure it will be.

Have you had any problems with yours ?

I had no issues with mine other than the wheels suffered corrosion - had them refurbed, front top suspension mounts clunking - need replacing.

Other than that no issues.

I did find the STI Brembo brakes a bit wooden - they worked great but there was very little feel - never got to the bottom of that one - I think it is the relationship between calipers and the master cylinder as the RX I have now has loads of feel, which is more like I expected

Ok that's good new then thanks. I did find the brakes nit as sharp as I expected but my WRX were crap lol

The wheels have already been done in matt black look nice. Need to do some work in the interior but other than that seems sweet.

oh yeah I had the two plastic interior door handle cards resprayed, the paint gets chipped quite easily

[BIGD]

Yeah that's what I am going to do.

The car has come back clean really happy
