OK so I have basically have had a stagnant build going for this car. It has taken me some time to figure out what I will doing. Well since it is more economical to build and strengthen this car, over buying a new(for now). I am finally figuring out what I am going to do. I am not trying to make this car anything special, if it hits 300whp, great! If it doesn't I won't loose sleep over it.
Below the pics are the parts I am ordering over the next month or so and come spring the install will begin. After I get these parts on and tuned. I will focus on suspension, bye bye coilovers! I want a more practical suspension set up.

Never mind I believe my CV joint just went!!! When Freak and I were installing my coilovers. The last one we was the front passenger side one well, when we loosened the bolts the strut came down and landed on the cv boot and tore it a little. The botched sandwich baggy job i did on it, isn't working out so well.

just wondering when you did the coils, did you have the frontend jacked up or just one side at a time?

Just one side at a time for the front end.
RCKSTR
04-12-2010, 01:59 AM
Just one side at a time for the front end.
Damn, that's why the strut killed your boot. Both itsmy04wrx and -GWOOD- did their coil installs the same way and had the same problem. It's because of the weight on the other front wheel that puts pressure on the sway or something and causes it to happen.
I had my front end jacked up and didn't have the pressure when I unbolted the strut. Well that's what I think atleast :shrug:
