Oh man.. I took a drive this past Sunday. Damm the car handled so well. I set my struts to 3 front 5 rear and took 84/Woodside all the way to highway 1 south and back up 17 to 880. Before reaching highway 1 that section just felt so smooth and I felt the car hanging the turns soo well didn't feel like the car could lose course. The setup feels really well if you change it for the conditions, but at times its bouncy but definetly worth it I paid $550 total.

Just today I had Gruppe-S install STI Group N transmission and engine mounts. WHOA.. what a difference! My stock mounts had 90k+ on them so I can definetly tell the improvement. Shifting the car feels way more solid and you can hear some of the tranmission "whine" a bit more on decelerating due to less vibration absorbing the sound. Also when I had the hood open revving, the engine would barley even flinch... before it was shaking all over the place. In addition less vibration is felt turning the car on/off but when shutting down I hear a squeaking noise most likley because everything is being squeezed tighter than before.

Today I did the RS > WRX front brake conversion. Bought some used WRX rotors and caliper brackets and had them resurfaced. The install was pretty simple and a definite bang for the buck mod. Some pics of the new brakes and comparing the RS rotors to WRX rotors.

Some before and after shots. My pedal feel hasn't changed much but I can still notice the car is stopping quicker than before.

Couple pics from a few weeks ago when I was borrowing a friends set of SSR Comps. I liked the lighter weight but wished there were some better tires on there.
