New to the site and Subies

Hey I currently have a 2008 WRX hatchback. I bought it with the mods that are on it which include: Tien Lowering Springs, Front and Rear Sway Bars, Cat Back Invidia 3" Exhaust, and a AEM CAI. The soon to come mods are going to be custom tunes(not sure where to go to get this), coilovers(not sure what brand to get), cated downpipe. Not sure where to go after that any help would be great. I just left the deisel performance world and would like to continue going to dyno days, meet and greets things like that. Any help for my car would be great.

Not sure if you were being sarcastic but it was impossible to continue to commute my truck. With all the mods done to it I was getting 9 to 10 MPG. I drive 110 miles round trip a day and fuel was kicking my rear. So I traded the truck in for my Subbie. Miss the truck but not the fuel payment.

Just the pic for my avatar for now. I think they are the S-techs but I don't really know how to tell. The only reason I knew they were Teins was it said so on the spring. LOL. But I really want a full coilover set, just not sure what brand to go with.
