    I put new sway bars on at the same time and the car handles way better than my wrx did. The ride is unscaved. I love the grip that the S03 have but they will probly only last 15k miles.

    ok, those wheels are friggen hot. Me likey :D :naughty:

    I do have to mention this though, cause I cannot in good conscience overlook it: Isn't a wind deflector a very bad thing for a TMIC? doesn't that completely change the dynamics of the wind going into the hood scoop? I would be nervous about some serious heatsoak.


    EDIT: now that I looked again, that might just be a paint guard thingy, and not a wind deflector... Its early, I can't focus... :zzz:

    Subaru makes two bug deflectors, one for non-turbos and one for turbos. I assume that the deflector for the turbo doesn't affect the intake. I have one on order either way. If you wanna sell yours, LMK :)

    one for turbo's and one for non-turbo's? sweet! when I was looking for one they told me that their only chip/bug deflector was for the regular impreza and I couldn't get one because it would divert air from the intercooler scoop. If they've made one for turbo's now, thats pretty cool.

    Doesn't matter now though, cause I have the entire hood chipped and stuff... *sigh*
