Opinions Wanted: 05 Impreza 2.5 RS Wagon Mods

Hi All,

I have a stock 2005 Impreza 2.5 RS wagon, my third Subie. It has 13,000 miles now. I would like to do some bolt on improvements.

So far, I have a 17mm (from 02 WRX Wgn) rear sway bar installed instead of the OEM 13 mm bar, and I installed some mudflaps I got free with Subaru Bucks from my Mastercard.

I would like suggestions on other improvements to power, handling, appearance, exhaust, etc. The tires and rims are identical to the pre-06 WRX tires and rims....plus I have two more sets in storage....so probably no tire and wheel swaps for a long time.

I was thinking fog lights, intake, maybe strut tower bar, and possibly the WRX radio-6 CD player.....there are a jillion of these radio/players available used, cheap.

What do you folks think would be cool?

Did you try looking through the other sub-forums? The linked thread below discusses wagon-specific suspension modifications.

We have other members from the Santa Cruz area if you check BAIC (Bay Area Impreza Club) sub-forum. Some of them will make there way to the mother of all i-Club weekly meets at Union City Krispy Kreme. See the Meetings & Events sub-forum of BAIC for the time and location. Check out other wagon owners' rides for some ideas.

The thing about this thread is that there is almost as much misinformation as information. You really have to slog through it all and keep a score card to track what's true. It would be great if there was a summary or if the misinformation was simply removed.
