AWD Motorsports 08' Sti... Better Late Than Never.. LOL

After a long debate of which new lineup to bring in to our shop we finally settled on the NEW body 08' Sti.. We were on the Fence with a Porsche 911 Turbo & New GTR and decided the Huge market of Sti Customers we haven't seen in 2 years would be great to finally be able to service in our new Location.. So we arrived at the AWD Motorsports Sti.. Better late than never i guess.. With the new larger shop well be looking to hold Robispec Suspension and Chassis Days which can accommodate all the you Evo Guys as well.. Let me know your opinions.. Thanks!!

Btw.. I realize this an Evo Forum But maybe some of our good customers that have friends with Sti's can now refer over your friends..

Mike

Im still busy researching but i think just basic bolt ons, all Robispec suspension parts and FP red or Blouch.. Not looking to destroy a brand new car.. Just have some fun and enjoy it.. 1 thing i know for sure is it has nothing near the capabilty power wise as the evo.. They do make very good pump gas power tho..

awesome stuff mike@awd. It truly is better late than never !

now let's see a 40r and nine's(and one day eight's); your closest competition is south of you

try and have crispeed figure out subaru shift knock, something most tuners haven't figured out(jr still puts up great times, and is a great drag race tuner; which I can't say for many other tuners)
