I really like the route you're going with your car Boost. Keep updating, your build will be sick. I most likely will be alot of the same stuff as you far as performance goes

Im a big fan of the swift springs. the only thing i am not a big fan of is the struts and the stupid cadi air ride they have on a good bump... or dip in the road. oh yeah and the ride is wr blue. my ladie has a white one but nothing done to hers. she doesnt want to do anything besides a short throw. so thats definatly in the works. well cant wait for your next post have a good one!

It's no secret these struts are made for comfort and not performance. I'll definitely address the suspension more thoroughly if I decide to keep the car. 25% of my lease is up and I've fallen in love with this car.

WRB + goldies FTW

Thanks dude! I dig your wheels btw... Took a lot of deciding for me to go with all black or black w/ red lip. Grrr... But I think I made the right choice for the color of my car. They look phenomenal on yours though

Nice car, I have 700 miles on my 08 wrx wagon and love it. My only mod so far is the short shifter, and I have the bushings but have not installed them yet.

I'm just barely clearing the 5000 mark, so I see you've gotten yourself an early start on the mod bug too, eh? You are gonna love the addition of the bushings. Have fun during the install

Yeah, I'm on 3gwrx... it's definitely a small community, but helpful to keep things for the 3g in one place.
