aite i have lil over a grand and wanna know what upgrade i should do now...i just got the hks carbon-ti exhaust..i was thinking the following either or..

1. i need supsension...either tein s tech drop (next year i'm buying the full suspension for sure..unless brad u sell me ur Tein SS)..haha

2. up/down pipe (?)
3.upgrade ignition system along with fuel management ??
4. hella HID kit
5. c/f hood wit sti hood scoop ?
6. endlinks and other stuff like that ?..

umm that's all i can think of...planning on upgrading turbo later on next year...ya imma newbie to this so help a braddah out..lol..shoots


or what would ya'll recommend ?

 

I would recomend the up and downpipe action. Get the power gains, plus gives you the real boxer rumble that most of us bought our cars for. JMO

 

that's i wanna get but my friends that what's all that power if i aint got a good suspension...i think the drop springs should be good for now untill i buy the full coilover system sometime next year..i mean i'm neva going to adjust it..i dunno..damm its like a grand and up..ahh...i dunno yet..thanks

 

Buy a rearsway and endlinks. I dont have those yet but Ive heard it makes a difference. Also, from what I hear the S-techs are rubbish, they dont help all that much, just look good. Sorry, I'm sure Nate or one the track guys will have a lot better suggestions.

 

shoots..ya cuz i want the car to have a lil drop but damm i dont need a thousand dollar drop..lol..nah nah

 

You might check out prodrives. More expensive than S-techs with not as much drop but you get performance with your stock struts.

 

thanks...damm all this problems just to drop it a lil..lol

 

I recommend Tanabe GF210 springs, nice drop and good performance for drop springs. According to Tanabe its a 20-30% increase in stiffness, I love em and their not too low. Yeah, you should get the up/down pipes, that's what my next mod will be. Open up the rumble .

This is what it looks like with Tanabes.

 

thanks..were did u get ur springs from and i guess how much ?...it looks dropped a lil bit but not that much...hehe..hey wanna group buy the up/down pipe ? i know sonic has em in stock for 500 for both with cel fix ?..let me know....

 

I have my car dropped on s-tech's....I love the look

 

how's the ride ?..ur front doesnt rub ah ?... if i decide to go with this set-up do you know how to install them..lol..thanks guys for all the help

 

The ride is great....some say it's soft....but I got them for the looks and I'm an everyday driver...feels like stock,only lower The front does not rub, close but no rub......And yes I know how to install them....To give you an idea how much of a drop you'll get...if you wher to stack your fingers on top of the tire the front will have a 2 finger gap and the rear 1 3/4 finger gap...hope that helps....Oh ya, go to eurosport and ask for Jeff....they have great deals on s-tech and a great staff to install them on for you...

 

shoots...but i was going to buy em on ebay for 180 shipped..i know the shops down here charge an arm and leg...as for install i called around and it cost more to install then to buy em..lol..nah but they do a good job..after tryin to install my skunk 2 and having lots of problems i got rid of them and i think these should be easier to install...thanks man for all the help...are u going to the meet on thurs ?

 

Yep....If your going,I'll see you there Just look for "Dave, The big guy with the bug-eye RS"

 

Okay do not buy S.Tech' sif you want any kind of performance. Unless your reasons are like Haole-pino then get something else. Prodrives are good, but I think they are just made by eibach, so get some stiff eibachs. Also get the up/down pipe, and rear sway bar w/ endlinks. I recommend whiteline for the WRX. Trust me you will LOVE your ride, handling and power after that. Also pick up some whiteline steering rack bushings, they're $30 and the best mod for the money that you will ever find.
