On Dynojet numbers. You can probably make 350WHP with 1000cc+ injectors, fuel pump, intercooler, turboback, and protune on E85. Will be WAY to difficult on 91OCT. If anything, ask your tuner. That's what I would do.

if sway bars are already on then why are they on the list? Confused.
oh man... I'm tired. I just read it again. That's what you ALREADY have on the car not what you were thinking of getting. LOL!

2008 Impreza 4-point front subframe
All the suspension stuff in the world is useless if the chassis is flopping around
If this is a street car, don't waste your money on coilovers, buy shocks & springs they will last longer and work just as well

Never occurred to me either, are they really that beneficial?

Only way to make 350hp on stock turbo is with E85. On 91 you'll need a bigger turbo, something like a GT30 size. A buddy with a built motor hit 340hp with a GTX3071 on 91. Another buddy hit 324hp with a Blouche 1.5 XT on 91 with a built motor. On stock motor 350 is a ticking time bomb especially with a huge turbo. Again this is all with a low reading dyno.

Well..lets take a look at the chassis on a Subaru race car
In almost any form of racing, the #1 thing is to lose weight, #2 is to stiffen the chassis.
I'm seen cars with great suspensions and inadequate chassis flex so hard they blew the windshield out
I can tell you with my old Camaro, when I started building up the chassis, the ride actually improved. All of the suspension movement was forced through the suspension where it was sprung and damped as opposed to bending sheet metal
