Ya that Kneeland to Bridgeville road is pretty rough. Last year my crew was heading from Mad River to the Kneeland Helitack base for some training. The 2 crew carriers (13 ton turbo-diesel trucks with a big box on the back) took the coastal route while our Superintendent took the Bridgeville <> Kneeland route in his F450.

We arrived at the same time. He said he would never take that road again...way too rough, and way too much Bs along the way.

Unfortunately, many of these roads get destroyed yearly by log trucks and dope growers.

Kickass!! What did that setup run you?

Are you using all of the hubs? I assume it came with axles as well. Are the hubs 5x100?

I should have all the parts for my brake/hub swap this weekend. I have some stainless lines on the way...but I need a set of WRX suspension without 100k miles on them. I am kicking myself for selling my stock tranny/diff and suspension.

It was 1000 for it all. The brakes are from the 04 JDM STI and its 5x100, so I dont need to use the rotors or the hubs as I have The Powerslot Big Rotor kit and stock 5x100 hubs, these would just be my spares if I need them. Also when I bought the 04 JDM STi 6 speed It came with the front STi female axles which fit perfectly with the stock wrx hubs. How come you need the WRX suspension and trans? Are your hubs 5x100 or 5x114?

DAMN, is that $1000 for the hubs/calipers/rotors, or including the seats? Either way it is a killer deal.

I need the WRX trans and suspension for the 98L. I have my stock hubs/axles/4/2 pot brakes, but I need a manual tranny and some newer/stiffer suspension. I want to get the suspension before I put the hubs and brakes on...that way I only need one alignment!!

The WRX already has a 6 speed, Stoptech fronts, Brembo rears, and the rest of an 06 STi drivetrain.

I know it is spring break and a lot of you are out of town....but I would like to reiterate how much I would like to find some good dirt roads to rip down free from the fear of a pissed off farmer meeting me in the middle of the road with a shotgun.

I know that me and taylor share similar interests....anyone else?
