aloha from the Big Island-

Awsome pictures! I wish my wife and I could have attended... Just wasn't able to schedule it with work. Maybe next time. ![Smilie](https://www.i-club.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Was cool to see photos of more wrx/stis here. I hardly take mine out of the garrage. 2 years old and barely over 16k miles.

LOL, no worries. He did roll the rears as there were some issues there. The front has been fine. 14" ride height in front, 13.5" in the rear; hub-center to fender lip. ~3deg of camber in front, about 1.6deg in the rear with zero toe rear and a wee bit of toe out in the front (I think.) I'm not sure of the offset on those wheels. (But I can find out for you if you want..)
I drove the car when the tires were new/greasy and WOW. Very nice setup. He has done a 05 hub conversion with KW coilovers on that bad bwoi. By far the gnarliest STi on Big Island so far...
and that guy is DAMM fast too. He USES all that tire. Hawke is an amazing driver..

Wow, what a coincidence I was thinking about running the Azenis and the KW coilies. Is he running the variant 3's? I've read good things about them, but that's the sad part only 'read' about them. Yeah, if you don't mind i'd like to know what offset he's running. Thanks!

YES.. Please get another STi, they are very well suited to the driving we all love to do. And a nice vibe with all their owners it seems. (philosophical....yeah!) You must come back and bring Yusuke as we are far and few between here. Most of the AWD+Turbo crowd are friends but this is a BIG island. Honestly, we like nothing more than to wake up early, on a sunday , and go rip some touge-style in the mtns.. I'd really like to meet your friend..
"Oh look, a piece of paper. You might need to replace your brake pads".....
