my 12 wrx sedan build thread

** THIS IS MY BUILD JOURNAL, PLEASE GIVE ADVICE AND POINTERS!!**
Well I haven't done as much as most, but i did more then i thought i would ever do, especially for a daily driver.

I recommend them, my bud here at work had them on his older wrx and loved them, spoke so much praise about them and he had so many high dollar coilovers etc. I'm in roseville by Sacramento, I just moved here so my knowledge of the roads are limited but so far they seem smooth, although allot of hills, I'm about 25 min from salmon falls road if you ever been on it or YouTube it. Pretty popular with the bike community.
