Default My SC3 finally dropped on BCs :)

I have been slacking off on my SC and finally put my coilovers on a couple days ago. I bought some BCs with softer spring rates and had them sitting in my room for almost 2 months lol. Anyways what a difference! The car feels so much better, rides smooth like factory but firm. Honestly doesn't feel like its on coilovers. And also found out 2 of my stock shocks were blown anyway. The drop right out of the box was perfect for now, I didn't change a thing. Seems to be almost a 3in drop but sits nice and even. I plan on putting my stock 19in IS-F wheels on the SC as soon as I get wheels for my F. Here is how it sits..



This is before the drop but in the garage with my weekend toy



And my baby! I love both cars equally though for different reasons

Little off topic question but does the isf have a manual transmission or come from the factory with one? Ive been interested in these cars lately.

It only comes with an 8 speed transmission. In manual mode is still a lot of fun though. It will hold rev, down shift into any gear and it wont shift for you. Its not a dual clutch set up. I thought I might miss the manual 6 speed I had in my STi but I like this better.
