Nice build man, looking super clean! I was just looking at the Nameless quad-tip exhaust too.

Also would you say the STI spoiler & front lip were worth it? They look really great I just wish they weren't so expensive...

The wing. Yes it makes it pop a lot in the back. Now the lip am very on the fence I do like it but I seem to have to cross enter driveways etc and it will scrape and the car is not even lowered yet, but yes the Lip is also a + not as big as the wing though. Now am still debating on the Side skirts and the rear little things lol. Yes they are I got them because I had a 20% off so was not too bad but yes $300 for 2 little plastic pieces on the back? I have a lot more to do but right now am gonna wait a tad more on the other lips/skirts. I have my nameless quad being built soon I hope to have it in 2-3 weeks. I have my sway bars I need to buy and install. My main goal is to make this car handle very well. Oh and I bought that sti front strut brace also lol the STI rims I picked up when I bought the car and sold the old ones for $450. If you have any questions hit me up.

Ohh thanks man, that's actually really helpful. And yeah I really wish the body pieces weren't so damn expensive so I definitely can't get them all at once. I was already thinking about just the wing and lip so thanks for letting me know your opinion on the side skirts and rear pieces.

I was just looking at the Nameless quad and love the way it looks from all the pictures, not to mention the sound! And doesn't seem too difficult to install either. I'd be interested to hear how it is installing it.

I was also wondering about the STI strut brace, do you notice a difference in the handling? I wanted to get that, the sway bars and coil overs but don't want to ruin the ride too much haha.

Haha sounds like you are gonna do what am going to do lol

Yes I want sways bad front should not be hard from what i hear the back is a tad more tricky. I do want coil overs, but am also holding off on them I don't want to lower my ride much more at most an 1". I did notice a decent enough with the brace and posted on here taking a trip through Hwy299 and I hit that HARD making turns where I would not see other cars even coming close and leaving a GTi that was tryin' so hard to hang but gave up

We do have crappy tires from OEM even though I got new rims they are my stock tires on the rim. I figure I'll burn them up and use them before dishing out 600.00 or so for tires Ouch! am still tossed up on an all season tires vs summer because this is the car I want to have fun in the snow with and street, but am still debating on tires. We are deffo not the fastest car out there but our 60-100mph is in a good powerband once you hit 110mph the car dies on it's face lol. Also temps will get very high so am in search for a better oil cooler to keep my temps down on these hard runs. Lots of things to get so little money. I live in the Sacramento area if you are ever around hit me up.

Yeah sounds like we have similar plans then haha.

I'm in the same boat when it comes to wheels & tires, I would love a new set but just got the car and figured I'd wait til I need new tires to get the wheels. H&R also makes lowering springs that say they lower the car ~1.5in and only cost like $380 and not $1k like the BC coilovers so I'd say at least look into that if you want it lowered a bit. I'm in NY and the roads here are bad enough that I scrape sometime with stock suspension, so I'm hesitant to lower it anymore then it already is haha.

Trust me I've been Modding DSM's since 97'+ I've had a 10 second AWD Eagle Talon I did then spring route and everything the difference between the two Springs vs Coilovers are Night and day. Save your money and lean towards the Coil Overs trust me on this. I'll be getting the coil overs I hope in the next few months I hope LOL. But I had to buy the exhaust and the catch can and few other mods lol it wont end... Then I already had the trade up program coming so in 1-2 years am thinking about trading up to a Turbo imp if they come out with it am jumping on it. But if all we get are WRX I might watch wait for a turbo hatch who knows.. or just stay with the hatch I have now you really don't know what life brings to the table.

Springs are cheap and all but eh been there and done that just set your eye to the coilovers.

I think my next mod will be some sways.. then I have my eye on the dampeners and undercarriage brace I want the car to take a corner on a dime. The old talon I did all bushing to polyurethane and well it was nice but it felt like driving a race car it shock like a mad ape.
