Nice!

[Sugarpie]

Nice. Great color. I don't understand why Subaru went back to clear lights though. Now the newun's look like grown up hawkeyes. Great car though.

[subiechick :)]

Woohooo Coils in the mail, Rally Armor in the mail, Spacers being purchased now, vinyls in the mail :) yay!

Options : Should I go all suspension then slowly work my way up to speed Orrrrrrrrr Should I do speed and slowly work my way up to suspension?

The reason why I'm debating is because I think the car is pretty fast as it is, ( even though of course I'd love to be faster ) buttt I think if I did suspension first once I add more speed the car would handle like a beast.

So give me your opinion.... Even if its completely different then the choices I have.

what coils? coils/springs are all you really need, that and rear diff bushings and subframe lock down kit so your rear diff doesnt smack the trunk on hard shifts. do springs or sways; either greatly improve the car. since you have coils on the way i think your good to go. i just have springs and shocks and i dont see sways doing much as my car can handle nicely at 80-90 MPH around on ramps and stuff. biggest thing after springs is tires. they actually hold you to the ground, make produce up to 1 G or more force and make you stop better!

as for speed please tell me your off the OEM tune, if not do it quick!

[subiechick :)]

BC coils ... And yeahh I'll get new tires once mines are a little used .... For right now I'm good ... I rather put that money on break pads and so on ... or a better break kit .. And for the OEM ? There's no point on getting off the OEM tune when I have no engine mods ... It would be just a waste of time ... Once I start doing engine I'd definitely get a new tune .... and my diff. bushings will be on the way soon :) ... and so will my motor mounts and shift bushings :) ....

BTW I know you're on 3gwrx ... My bf is corski and my friend is zulukingcrowned .... They're the ones helping me with most of my stuff ... :)

[synolimit]

good coils. doing an alignment and corner balancing? what spring rate?

do you ever get into boost? if you do it really isnt a waste of time. i have a lot of time looking at the stock tune. its very unsafe for any boost! when in boost a perfect target is about 10.8-11.2 AFR. the stock tune WILL allow full boost and WILL run about 14.5 AFR all the way to about 4500 RPM (max boost has already come). 14.5 AFR is target for normal driving or what they call stoich/stoichiometric ratio/per unit air. this happens because of a long CL/OL (closed loop/open loop) time delay. every tuner sets this to zero i believe so your not running super lean during the transition time going from normal driving to wide open throttle (hense CL/OL time delay in the ECU). now your car has a back up item so your motor doesnt blow up "kinda". its called your knock sensor. when you run that lean you will be knocking like a mofo! when knocking the ECU will pull timing but it will not pull boost or increase fuel. basically its all bad.

here is a pic of an OEM tune knocking a few times and losing a ton of power due to pulled timing. the bad thing about our motors is our pistons are not that strong. enough knock events even with pulled timing can form mirco cracks or even break the ringlands of the pistons. if they slightly mirco crack it wont take much time after increasing power for a piston to completely break.

since they're on 3gwrx please contact Eric at Torqued Performance. hes the tuning master mind over there and will validate everything im saying. it really is better to be safe than sorry even though you have a warrenty.

PS since 08+'s starting breaking as much or a little more then older models im about 98% sure you only get a 1 time free motor replacement.
