Well got the brake kit installed on the car, even without a full bleed I can tell there is serious force behind these GT series brembos. Very excited to see how they perform over the coming summer!
Also got the brake cooling kit more a less finished, ran into a few little issues though, main one being that the rotor is so huge on the Brembo kit it actually interfered with the backing plates!. A little bending / machining and the fit is just about there, been so damn busy with family stuff recently havent been able to finish.
In other news the car will be getting its touch up tune on April 20th which I have to admit I am excited for. Also picked up my meth gauge wiring from Dom while I was down at MPS a few weekends back so the meth will be up and running this season.

Well....
Got the GT Series kit bedded in and wow it's amazing, even my brother couldn't believe how much sharper it feels than his 09 STI.We've added a lower valance kit to the car to improve the look as well as pretty much fully finished the brake cooling kit. The car was out for the first large provincial meet here and got a huge amount of attention, lots of people asking about MPS too.
We had to reschedule the tune date to May 25th as the snow here stil hadn't all gone by the first week of may. The longest winter on record for Saskatchewan! Also got my meth gauge kinda fixed. The ignition wire that was tied into for 12v was losing voltage when the brake position switch was on, rewired it to a different location and all fixed. It was fine for one day and now with the system set to unarmed the fault light on the controller is blinking randomly, I'm assuming its a short or poor connection somewhere which il have to find.
I've also had one of my BC RAM coilovers develop a terrible clunk. After tightening everything it appears to be the shock itself. I contacted BC twice about it and no response. I'm having a local vendor try and source another one for me but I'm very disappointed with no response from BC.
In other news I've bought some new rims for our forester as well as lowered it on 09 WRX suspension it rides amazing now. The wheels should be here within 2 weeks so it should be looking perfect for summer
