    about control arms.

    For me it was worth it because I think the wet noodle feel of the rear end is a safety issue. I dont think you need both upper and lowers for a daily driver...The uppers take out about 75-90% of the side to side play. I wish I had tried just the lowers first becuase if it stopped the side to...

    about control arms.

    I installed the Steeda Aluminum uppers and lowers. The uppers are a PITA. Why you ask? Becuase there is a rubber bushing that you have to grind out. I used a large drill then a large 6ft X 1in solid steel bar to smash this old bushing out...then used a high speed air tool with a dremmel bit to...

    Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter

    Call Steeda for the correct shifter they have great customer service people. Everyone upgrades due to the stock shifter being so loose\floaty and having long throws between gears. Also with a stock shifter you can bend your shift forks by slamming into the next gear too hard, where as with an...

    How To Beat a WRX with a 03 Vert ?

    I dont agree...unless his clutch is upgraded and he has tires to handle his awhp. I have raced a heavily modded WRX and he keeps smoking his clutch and cant hear his car next to me with my magnapaks so he dont know when to shift. Don't kid yourself about these cars, they have power adders...

    It is very tight. I like the vibration, the base could be a 1/4" shorter though.

    Oil smells like gas?

    your oil smells like gas becuase the engine / rings are not seated yet. It will take 10,000 miles before your engine is "broken" in. If it really smells like gas change it as soon as you can. The rotten egg smell is from your cats...a nice long spirited highway drive should help with that.

    droppin the ride

    Eibach Sportlines 2"front 1.8"rear drop. Some people remove the isolators and that lowers it about 1/4 to 1/2 more without rubbing tires...they do scape the road though. If your going to get headers you may want a little less of a drop. Here are some pics I took today.

    Pictures of the black bullit repro's from partshopper?

    While I was tracking my order through UPS they had a weight of 26lbs ea for the front and I think 28lbs for the rears. The Tire man said that they were suprised that the front tires/rims took more weight to balance then the rears. This will differ with the each type of tire combo but for the...
