Noob scubie owner in Central Cali

Hey guys, just recently purchased an '08 WRX Wagon back in the beginning of Feb. Been having tons of fun with it ever since..the only "mods" I've done is slap on some tint and the Perrin short shifter kit... although I am very eager to begin upgrading and learning more about my car asap.....Would you guys have any advice on where to start??..i was thinking about getting some sway bars, but dont know where to look..right now I've just been hitting up the Perrin performance web site...what do you guys think of thier products??

Welcome! Def search for a while and don't impulse buy, it's a slippery slope once the mod bug bites. Have fun with your car!

For daliy driving id recommend a rear sway bar w/ endlinks and lowering springs for the suspension. You'll keep a great ride for DD but have fun in the turns.

Try a stage 1 protune set up for performance. Stock turbo, stock Downpipe, stock intercooloer. Just a catback, drop in filter, and a protune at shop.

Def do some research before you buy! Welcome!!

Ive deff been doing as much research as i can find.. I've have a perrin panel filter that i failed to mention earlier, as for leaving all of that stuff stock, for now that is the plan, but ultimately the goal is to be pushing 450ish hp
