I'm not saying that you're wrong. But, I can't find anything that supports what you are saying. Everything I can find verifies that bolt patterns are measured the same. 5x114.3 is 5x114.3 whether Acura or Subaru. The wheels might not interchange due to other dimensional differences, but the bolt...

What year Subaru? 2014 and older are 5X100. Looks like that's what you have.

Maybe this is a programmable feature. If my memory is accurate, in my car (2025 ITS), start-up is always in Sport mode, regardless of the mode selected when shut down. I'm not sure that I see your problem. The tech probably did engage Sport mode. Your issue was suspension related, and the...

The default dynamic mode is Sport. So, regardless of their testing, it would have selected "Sport" when you started it.

Even number bolt patterns are measured CTC, odd number patterns are center to outside edge. Go figure.

There are numerous places that such a sound might originate. Unless it is relatively obvious, it may be hard to find, even for a competent tech. As for aftermarket bar or bushings, I'd recommend against it. Suspension components are part of a system, and folks with factory resources spend lots...

I don't think that summer tire damage is much of a risk until the temps are well below freezing. But yes, grip starts going away well before that. I remember cold track days (mid 40s)when it would take half the session before the tires were good.

Like most folks, I would prefer an easy "full off" setting for VSA. But in truth, it doesn't much matter, at least for my uses. The VSA system is not overly intrusive for 90% of the driving I do on public roads. I'm not doing track stuff anymore, and if I ever get back in it, I'll use a...

Are you saying that the RF shows a low pressure warning, but the pressure is actually okay? When you start the car, does the light flash a few times before remaining on? That is typically the indication of a faulty TPMS system and needs to be checked.

I have only 600 miles on my car, and don't plan on doing any track stuff with it. So far, I'm finding the car to be really much more neutral than I anticipated. The combination of the new front axle design and LSD does a great job. As you said, throttle and/or brake modulation can keep the car...

If you are interested in a RD sports car, take a look at a 2014/15 Porsche Cayman, the last of the flat 6 generation. It's guaranteed to make you smile!

Comparing a RD sports car to a FD four door sedan is really a comparison of different market segments. The ITS offers the utility of a sedan, and it's one of the best handling of front drivers. That said, you can't make a FD car feel like RD. The weight balance and steering feel will give a...

Okay, I think that makes sense, but I need more coffee! I guess, regardless of width, centerline is centerline, and I made it too complicated.

I guess my math isn't working. If the wheel offset is decreased by 50% of the increase in width, that seems to maintain the centerline location. What am I missing?

The hub centric adapters work fine if needed. And yes, the factory +60 offset is relatively more important in this car than most. It you read the design details of the dual axis front suspension, you will find that the wheel offset is important in isolating the steering and damper axis from each...

I need to correct this previous post of mine. The EZ Spare wheel is NOT designed to work with the OE lug nuts. The OE lugnut is a ball seat design, and this wheel uses a conical taper, which is properly addressed in the EZ Spare lugnuts which they provide. The tight spacing is accommodated by...

I've learned that a good battery maintainer is a sound investment. Most modern cars are hard on batteries, and there are more bad batteries out there than I would have guessed.

You mentioned having installed springs. Was anything done to the adaptive damper system, which is electronic?

Seems to me that the auto-start feature would put more stress on the battery, so I don't think that its absence could be contributing to the problem.

It's always tempting to carry over certain aspects of a track prepped car to its street counterpart, but it's rarely valid. There are just too many design changes, and wheel offset is only one.
