As of tomorrow I will be the owner of a Aspen White 99' 2.5RS, it will be picked up Friday from EQ and taken straight to get swapped with a full 07 motor and drivetrain.
BTW Krinkov, I agree with you, I had the Prodrive WR Sport suspension on my old 00' rs before it was totaled and it drove amazing.

Dude your car makes me hate my life...seriously. I am debating between flat black and aspen white...but my WRX is already blacked out.
The drop, color, wheels....just sick. What Bilstein suspension are you on?
I cannot find the GC Prodrives to save my life, although the GD ones are still available. I am really thinking about Konis with Ground Control sleeves. Then I can choose my ride height, have good dampening, and still have an acceptable springs rate and enough bump travel for a well behaved ride.

there is a whole section dedicated completely to swaps, so much information in there
I drove a swapped rs for 2 years and before that i drove it stock for about a year.
Definitely go USDM too, first off its easy to find parts, and if you want a car in california that is 95 or newer, you pretty much have to lol

Not sure if it's been discussed, but iWire a.k.a. "Keener" on rs25.com has been offering a wiring merge service.
