Mine has to be the 20mm rear sway bar/Whiteline HD front and rear endlinks/Upgraded rear sway bar mounts.

Cost me about $200 total and made a huge difference in how the car felt when taking turns.

Second favorite is probably the trunk x-brace, as it stiffened up the rear a little more.

It's just that a "trunk monkey" If you go on NASIOC you'll see advertisments for Trunk Monkey. It's a subi tuner mini mag. Well there's more to it than that but not anything I can remember at the moment.

i always thought you were supposed to have a trunk bar in order to rock the monkey :shrug:. later on i got the bar, and then Jen and I looked for a monkey every time we went to the dollar stores and whatnot :lol: finnally found one :), and then i start seeing that people were doing other stuff with them in the windows and some seatbelted em in :lol:

Just so you know those are TOTALLY winterable tires. :devil: 235/40/18's for 1 winter on my Impreza. Was like floating on air grip and control with the light chasis. I tried it in the SVX and couldn't get enough contact so I ended up saying "F it!" and got Dunlop DS2 Grasspic 2's and it's a FREAKING TANK! 6inches of snow just keeps on going! I have no idea how the Impreza will handle in the snow once the EZ's running and all the other work is done. i may not let her see snow aside from a few fun jonts downt he road and back for fun.

Jaketips42; i thought i remembered seeing these on your modlist...

Yeah I have them. I had to cut a slice off each end of the inner small bushing to make them fit in the GC subframe. They added some camber, so they pushed the toe out a bit. So an alignment after is a must. Well, I eyeballed my toe until the next day when I aligned it. ;)

When I installed the F alum control arms I also installed Perrin PSRS and the tribeca front sway bar. It made a huge difference!

You have to change to the GD/GDB subframes and maybe the hubs if I remember. Maybe not
Anywho favorite suspension mod....

EZ30R!
It gives me forward weight to distribute off the rear for letting the rear bias once the STi powertrain is in mad kick out! Basicly any section of the car you ask favorite mod I"ll say EZ30R and claim some reasoning bogus, fictitious, or otherwise!

I know someone that just might sell them. He took them out of his wreck car which is an 03 wrx. So whoever crashed it bought them as they didn't come on 03 wrxs. I told him to def use them. But he could also use some cake.

I also like my 20mm rear swaybar.
+1 to 1" OVER stock. A lot of times can look even more agressive than 1" under. When I had my Megan's durring the winter I'd run way over stock(over OBS stock that is which is I think a little over L/LS/RS height)

:o I'm still working on it. I have my Hydra though! :D It just needs to get boxed up and send to me. Working on clearing around the car again so I can put it in the car. If the GC and GDB subframes have the same clearance maybe I"ll drag it over to Synaptic for it's headers while I wait for other parts.
