SS lines are the shiznit! I HIGHLY recommend them if you have some extra cash. I think I paid $120ish for mine and got them from LIC. They definently will reduce spongyness and give a firmer pedal feel. Also a Master Brake Cylinder bracket wouldn't be a bad idea since it would help brace up the MBC to the shock tower and not allow it to flex so much, which causes spongyness as well. There's a guy making some up on RS25 and I'll be buying one

I also just installed some CNC Aluminum Fender braces from a guy named Jnorth on RS25.com. He's a vendor and made a few batches and so I got a set for my car and OMG fender braces REALLY change the driving characteristics of my RS! When installing them I noticed I didn't even have them and I guess the later model GC RS's came with them. They definently help turning in and give a much more solid feel of the car since the front end doesn't flex anymore. Kinda a pain in the *** to install but it just took some time. At $60 OTD for the pair when they normally run $100+ it was definently worth the purchase!

Comming up next for parts...

- MBC brace whenever production starts on it and is sold over at RS25.com
- Brembo blank rotors since my crappy old slotted rotors are warped.

Thanks Gus!

I'm also looking into getting some forrester steelies that fit over my 4pots and get cheap winter tires and go have some fun

Tire rack has them for like $49/ea for the steelies. I'm going to see if Greg @ Marin can get them too and how much.

Update: w00t I got my front brembo rotors in yesterday via Tirerack. I ordered them on Tuesday afternoon shipped same day and got them yesterday! Talk about getting them über fast

I'm also about to order a set of Axxis Metal Master (XBG) front pads to go with the new rotors since OEM pads suck.

I just FINALLY got ahold of an STi TMIC that I can put on my car too so hopefully it will free up some noticeable performance

ok...so I got the 3" stromung 3rd cat eliminator and my car sounds better, performs better and sounds more scooby like

also...the MRT master cylinder brace sucks...the holes are off a little and I didn't want to ****ing tap out the holes so I got rid of it.

I think today I may take some pictures of my car since its clean now and do updates
