Top 10 modified upgrades

Hello fellow enthusiasts I wanted to start a discussion. Think of all the upgrades you got for your car and filter out THE best upgrade you put on it. It doesn't have to be in order but it can be if you want. My fav on my WRX has to be the downpipe. List yours here and lets get a great discussion going!

1. Downpipe (Helix catted)
2. HID
3. Greddy EVO2 catback exhaust
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

HIDs are not the best upgrade (that is if you just have a regular WRX) unless you also get the proper projector housings to focus the HID beam properly. Halogen housings were meant for a different type of light and if you just stick an HID bulb in there its gonna diffuse the light in all directions...It will give you somewhat more light, but you will also blind a lot of people on the road...Just my $.02...

Otherwise...COBB AccessPORT and/or professional tune should be high on your list...as well as drop in filter and turbo inlet if you are talking power wise...

Suspension wise, I say a good think rear swaybar (24 mm) with good endlinks all 4 corners...

Good luck building your car!

This list was meant for people to put up what favorite mods they got going on in their own subarus. Not correct others what they got. Thanks for the input nonetheless.

Hey thanks for the advice on the HID's. Though it may confuse you HID's are on top of my list. Lighting is very important for my WRX. What I gotta say, love my lights! I do own a COBB AP v.1 but don't see a difference as much when I installed my downpipe. So my downpipe is on top of my list of favorite mods.
