Talking Hello all

Hi,

New to the forum. Just thought I'd say hi. I just purchased my first car -- '05 WRS Wagon PSM. I think the first thing I want to do is the suspension. I have a feeling that if I try to make it faster, it still won't be fast enough. :-P

Any suggestions on what I should do?

Welcome to the club and CONGRATS ON THE NEW CAR!

Welcome to i-club.

For suspension...what kind of driving do you do with it? If your driving style is aggressive, you should go with some coilovers (cusco zero2r are always nice). If you want something that is soft enough for daily driving, get a nice spring/strut set-up. But the first thing you would want to do is to trash those re92s and buy some decent tires.

Have fun with your new scooby!

welcome dont hesitate to PM me if you ever need anything

i did suspension first also i have progress springs with agxs my first and biggest help was a rear sway bar. i have the under brace and it did the least amount

im the only one that liked the RE92s

congrats on the new car. leave the windows up at all times to keep the new car smell hehe

get suspension and wheels..
version 8 take off are very reasonable prices.
ggb wagon suspension are alittle harder to get your hands on.
just don't drop spring using stock struts.
that will usually end up wearing the strut out too quickly and you will end up replacing them very soon.
