New WRX owner in Sac Valley
Hey everyone, just picked up my WRX in Feb and I'm new to i-club so i wanted to say hello! My ride is a base model WRB hatch. Mods so far: SPT catback exhaust, Cobb SF intake+air box, Cobb AP (running Stage 1 ACN map w/intake), Koni Sport struts w/ H&R sport springs (lowered 1.4 front and 1.3 rear), STI short shifter w/bushings, STI tranny mounts, STI front lip spoiler, Momo shift ****, SPT turbo heat shield, oil cap and battery tie down, 5% tint in rear, fully debadged. Love my car, I'm glad I went with the WRX over the Ralliart and MS3. I'm going to try and make the Sac area meets, I hope to meet some new people out there.

Love the setup! When I have the wife and kid in the car setting the Konis to a quarter over soft provides a nice ride that everyone can live with. I really can't believe how smooth the ride is when on a softer setting. If you wanna have a little fun tighten them up a bit and you're good to go. The springs provided the perfect amount of drop for my taste, just under an inch and a half. I am very happy I went with this setup, being a DD car I think these are more suitable than coilovers or the Bilstein setup which is non-adjustable. Nothing against coils or the bilstein struts, but for me I think this was the right move.
