Not gonna lie. Kinda forgot about this car.
Looks good. Any exterior plans?
Very nice! Needs to go another 10 mm down. lol
there you go again.... making me wish i had your front end.
Looks hot!
Thanks guys, I definitely want to lower it further. I'm looking at KW Coilovers currently, or may just do an Eibach kit. As for the rest of the exterior I'm pretty happy with it. I really really would like the Hirsch truck spoiler and rear diffuser. And will probably get some new wheels, same style just 18 or 19 inch.
As for it the car in snow, it's been the best FWD car I've ever driven in snow, great ESP program on these. Biggest problem would be clearance, because the body rides low on these even at stock height. And so you know, 09+ 93s are available with AWD.
im looking at the 05-07 style with the 2.0T or the 2.8T yeah i thought the high would be a problem because they sit so low.
Locally it is so damn hard to find a 9-3 with the 2.8T in it. The ones that you do find are well over $20,000, but I can find plenty of 2.0t..... It seems like that even with modding it's hard to get a 2.0T into the low 14's. I would love you have a 2.8T to mess with!!!
It's coming along for sure!

Yeah, 2.0T are real easy to find, and there is going to be a new tuning options available for them soon to quicken them up. But the real problem with drag racing with these is the major torque management in first and second gear. Really holds them back, but without it those gears are pointless with the 2.8T. I love it though, and hopefully I can get it tuned soon.
I would give up my GXP instantly for a Aero with the 2.8T in coupe or sedan form in auto or manual!

Why would you buy that car to flog at a drag strip? .........
On the other hand....you have other fingers.

its true.... i have my torque at 100% in all gears with HPT, and first gear its a waste at full boost.
With the new vtuner tune, the 2.0T is pulling low 6sec 0-60 times.
