Thanks,

Moving kinda slow here on this project. Just installed some new struts within the past 2 weeks not really sure of the date. Some new Kybs. They are very stiff and ride very nice. No more bottoming out for me. Well I should be getting a rear sway bar and some headers soon so I will keep posting to see how this thing turns out.
Thanks for looking.

Ok as of today I put in my rear sway bar. Its a 20mm off a Wrx. Huge size difference from the wimpy stock L one. Drove it around and must say it does help a whole lot, less body roll etc. Should be gettin the front one soon with brand new bushing and that should also help a whole lot. After that I am considering buying new endlinks I heard they were one of the largest improvements.
After that I should be getting headers and maybe looking towards getting a stock sti catback. I don't want a really loud exhaust until I do the tranny swap.
Then it should be around birthday time and hopefully Dad will throw out some cash for my car

PM a moderator. When you go back to the thread listing page, in the bottom right, it'll say moderators. PM them and they can help you out.

Hello Subaru fan, I have the same car, you can start changing all the exhaust system to a bigger one 2 inch it's ok, then change to 17 wheels and finally if you can put a scoop and bigger fog lights. I change my front from the regular to a 2000 model it looks much better now.

Good Luck
