I traded in my '03 WRX for a new '05 WRX in September and as part of the deal, Subaru gave me $500 in Subaru Bucks. When I bought the car, the dealer had already installed an STi rear strut tower brace, STi pedal kit, and STi radiator hose kit and cap.

Here are the options as I see them:

-Save the cash and use it for oil changes, services, etc.
-Spend some of the cash on parts, but save some for oil changes, services, etc.
-Spend all the cash on STi/SPT parts and screw holding back for oil changes/services

I'd like to get your suggestions.

Some notes on the car and how I use it (may help your suggestions):
-I kept my 17" Prodrive rims and tires (S03s) from the last car. They'll go back on in the spring.
-I don't plan to autocross or race the car. Strictly street.
-I like how the car handles, but it could have more bite on turn in and less body roll.
-In the future, I'd like to buy a Cobb Accessport and run Stage 1.

Thanks a lot everyone!

My bucks took about 6 weeks to get to me. I practically forgot I had them and then they showed up in the mail one day.

Save them for servicing...at least that's what my financial advisor would say.

no question in my mind. If there's one thing you could do to the car to improve daily driving fun the most, it's the STi short shifter. Thing's like butter. greased butter.

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention that the car came w/ the STi shifter, so maybe I'll look into the sway bars or springs.
