I would like to thank Darkonion in his efforts with lowering my car, also jagstyle for being my power guy. jagstyle installed my header and up pipe last night, also thanks to Orlando @ Auto Innovations as well for doing a nice job on my alignment and rear spring install

Header is good, think I have a slight exhaust leak, I will get that taken of soon. I have a Tacoma so no biggie there for me, yes the WRX Trunk and Wing makes a big difference. I am looking to go wingless all together, but that is harder said then done.

In a way it does, but mine is still sexier then his Car feels the same to me, still getting used to the springs though

Thanks again guys for all your comments, I appreciate the feed back.

I already said car feels the same to me, I am still getting used to the springs, so the sub frame does not affect me. As of now, the springs made a huge difference as far as driving the car, and also in corners.

I have 1 more part coming that will put an end to a lot of my modding, but it will be a nice one, keeping it a surprise for now until I get it on the car
