depends what you want. want it lowered? buy springs, want to be able to adjust the height, get coilovers. Is it a DD, get soft daily driver coilovers. Want less body roll, get sway bars+endlinks+bushings+mounts. Want it to look lower without actually lowering it, get a front lip and maybe even sideskirts. Tint, window visors, wheels, lugs, mudflaps, all give the car a different look. Nobody knows what you want, you gotta decide that on your own. Search through the show and shine part of this forum and looks at the cars with the same body as you and decide what you like, thats how I figured out what I wanted.

As said, get a lip, side skirts, WRX wing, lowering springs and some 18's. The suck part is that it's a 2.5i and not a WRX so it will not be as sporty but it can look it. Check out idrivemyi, he has a nice setup!

I have the WRX and went with lowering springs, tint, 18's and it drastically changed the look compared to when I bought her.

Welcome and looking forwards to seeing the progression of your subie build

Welcome to the club. I suggest you find some local meets and look over some other cars to get a feel for what you like.

Welcome!

Throw in suspension mods for sure (swaybars), as the 2.5is cant do almost anything in the power department.

Tint and some 17 or 18 inch wheels as well as a rear sway bar. Adding a rear sway is a must for the sporty turns...
