Yeah, brembos are too expensive. My brake upgrade will probably total about $600. That's with almost $300 in pads

I noticed your wheel stops on your garage floor.

That is a good idea. So I take you set those where you want to stop your car to give you a clean alternative to the tennis ball on a string?

Great idea!

Yep that's exactly what they are for. My garage is wide but not very deep so they ensure I always park in the same spot.

Sorry to go off topic, which ones are they? How did you adhere them to the floor and how well have they stuck?

Random I know, but i think you have a great idea there.

They are these ones [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F6 ... UTF8&psc=1"]MAXSA 37358 Park Right Black Parking Mat : Amazon.com : Automotive[/ame]

They have adhesive on the back to hold them in place. I actually haven't pulled the backing off of it, but there's enough adhesive on the edges that they've grabbed the carpet in my garage pretty well.

I like that there is a bump on both front and rear it keeps the car in place without having to set the handbrake

That's a comparison between the high boost map and the OTS Cobb Stage 2 map. He set my SI-Drive to have WG boost (I), normal boost (S), and high boost (S#).

My car weighs about 3500 thanks to the STI 6spd, leather everything, sunroof, and just being a larger car.

That's a good looking car. What kind of gas mileage do you get in that?

Not great unfortunately in my current commute I'm getting between 20 and 22. My best ever is 27mpg. Other than MPG I love the car and nothing on the market will replace it for less than $45k.

subaru mpg isnt the greatest. i probably put down about what chris does, but a bit less torque and a bit more hp. i got 21-23 highway before i fixed my coil packs. havent figured out what it is now, havent really taken a trip. My tune isnt finished yet either, i have to send in more logs, i just keep forgetting.
