Trying to figure out what to do with my car. Anyone looking for an RS?
Hey All, I haven't been around much or really posted at all in the last months. I'm pretty much done with this car thing so I am trying to figure out the best way to get rid of my car. Like everything in life, looking for the most money for least amount of work. 
Just curious what the used market is like for RS's now. I know they still seem hard to find, but with the STis out I have to assume the WRX is about to have another used market price drop.
I know I can part out my car and get some pretty good money for the used parts. I'm just wondering if you or anyone you know might be looking for a built up RS for a whole lot less than it would cost to do it from stratch. Anyway, here's the mod list. Please contact me if you've interested of have any hot leads: scott@sfrench.org

The ALK for GC8 and GDA differ only in that the kit for GDA has a bunch of washers and spacers. You may be able to purchase that from Whiteline separately.
ALK = best bang for the buck suspension-related mod

lol I beg to differ on a friendly note
ALK is best bang !!! sway bar ??? allignment will take care of that. and a camber bolt and you can keep the stock swaybars for better ride and comfort. But the ALK read along.
ALK =best bang for the buck, ya get both caster and camber when needed not like those massive tire eating camber settings and not to mention a better bushing all in one product.
Take off's on the car definitely improves and so does power out on turns
. It almost feels like your car doesnt have the torque but when timed on a 1/4 mile gives you a better result, same results on better track time.
swaybar only gives you one thing.
So how will the swaybar be the best bang...
cheers

since we're already off-topic, I just wanted to note that my car woke-up not after adjusting stock camber bolts to -1.5, but after installing 4-pt. front lower subframe brace. much more precise...alk & rear sway come next!

Steering rack bushings are the best bang for the buck.
A 20mm WRX rear swaybar on a GC is the runner up.
ALK is good too, but it screws up your auto-x cadigory

I still dasagree... lol
For the GM6/GC6 cars, i still say a 20mm rear bar is the best bang for the buck. they are like $70 or something. and super easy to install.
i think stock rear is 13mm, and a 7mm increase is huge. you know it!

Wow, talk about a Hijacked thread......
So does anyone want to buy a RS??
P.S Performance Driving school is the best bang for the buck as you will get way more out of your car than any of the above mentioned mods!!
