    The blue bird can sing, but the crow's got the sou
    I have a gift certificate I need to use (for Oakos) but I don't know what to buy next. I was thinking about starting with suspension. The car is an 06 WRX all that is done to it is a Prodrive axle back, and GPMoto intake elbow. I don't want to spend more than $300. Should I start with springs, or a anti-sway bar? Or should I go with any other "performance" mods? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks for the help.

    I say springs since WRX's always look a bit better lowered anyway :)

    hmm good question. see if anyone on here will trade parts for the certificate. that is if you don't mind used parts. more bang for the buck. but not really knowing what they sell, i would have to say down pipe and mid pipe. but suspension is a good idea too. just beware of the decrease in ride quality...

    I guess you need to figure out what you want -- power, handling, styling, ect.

    If you want handling: springs or a front and rsb + (with endlinks might be a tad over $300).

    If you want power: downpipe (although that + will probably be over $300).

    Ok ****, if that $300 cap is for real, I'm back to the drawing board. Keep in mind that you'll need an alignment if you get springs.

    Trade for cash, save your pennies and get some good rubber, if you want handling. Best bang for buck mod is tires.

    Power... DP/UP combo. Oakos is great. I've bought a lot of stuff from Dave.
