Awesome, a subaru thread! I picked up a 2005 STI about a year ago after wanting an impreza since I was 12. Not the most practical thing, but doesn't matter when the kid in me gets all excited every time I drive it. I only wish I didn't have the terribly common Rear strut clunk that apparently plagues the sti. It wouldn't bother me if there were more strut options for the 05+ (i'm looking at you KYB)

I waited about a year after getting my 05 before doing anything racing related. And now that I have, expensive new addiction ahoy.

Any recommendations for replacement rotors for a 2005 sti? I've got the high speed braking shudder going on, and since my rotors have been resurfaced once before I'm told its a no-no to do it again.

I had looked into those, but the idea of paying ~650 for rotors made me slightly nauseous.

I'd love to pay more. But what I want and what I can afford in reality rarely seem to coincide. If I had the dough i'd switch to the wrx 4 pots so I could clear some 15 inch wheels. Some day, right?

I have a quick question/issue. Recently when I have the A/C on i get an intermittent 'squeak'. It almost sounds like a belt slipping. Only happens when the A/C is on though, Can anybody point me in the right direction as to what to look for? Car is a 2005 STI, engine totally stock.

I assumed it was belt related, but havent had a chance to check yet.
