What do think of my setup??

Hi everyone! I'm new to the board. Live and direct from the great white North!

Anyways, I just bought a 1998 Legacy GT sedan and want your opinions on my setup (Installing next week).

Cusco FR strut tower bar
Cusco RR strut bar
Cusco RR swaybar
Cusco FR swaybar
5zigen Fireball w/custom midpipe
Cobb High flow cat converter
Borla Headers
Custom CAI w/monster flow
3 pcs Pulley Kit
Rennsport springs

So what do you guys think? This is probably all the work that I'm going to do for the engine since it's an auto

(found a MT but the guy wanted $5,000 more than my auto...Rather wait and save for an B4 TT engine swap)

I noticed alot of peepz here use Whiteline fr & rr swaybars. Is there anything wrong with Cusco? How about the Rennsport springs, anyone try them out? Dude told me that these come off the same production line as H&R.

Please critic and be honest. I don't have much experience with Subaru and their proformance parts. I still have a week before I install, so I still have time to return and re-order.

Thanks
Eric

Hi Eric,

Reason why most people go with the Whiteline sways is that they are adjustable and cost less. Plus the swaybars are under the car anyways, so nobody see them!

The Cusco bars are not adjustable? I know that they are more expensive.
Your setup looks pretty good to me. I only wish I could afford to do something like that all at once.

Whiteline = Great stuff that won't kill the wallet....too much. Cusco is just as good, just more bling.

Not my reason

Heck I agree Cusco bars are great (or that is what I read) I really wanted one (Well two- one for each Subaru) but after looking for 6 months and not being able to locate one, I had to step down to Whiteline. Yes Cusco bars are also adjustable. My husband painted both of our swaybars black, so the baby blue issue is no longer. From what I read the bushing in the Cusco bars are much better and do not even need any grease, plus the NEVER squeak. Our bars are squaking like a canary after only a few weeks. We have to keep greasing them to stop the noise. Hey since you are a big Cusco fan, I bet you have seen this page? It is awesome!
