Back in a rex.. missed it
Hey guys,
After selling my04 and going to a 4x4 for 8 months I couldn't resist and picked up a 2013 WRX on Friday. I have to say this thing really makes me smile like no other car I have owned. Picked up Friday, fitted some new wheels Saturday morning with Wei. For now I am just changing the mufflers over to get a bit more of tone out of her, also changing head unit on Saturday, back to double din alpine unit. I will probably also change the springs over to kings @ some point during the week to make it sit a 'little' lower. I want to keep this one as practical as possible.. ie; not too low.. Look forward to seeing you guys around an stalking out the forums again. of course, pics;

Welcome back. As far as practicality and cost, WRX's aren't the best cars to own.
But they will always put a smile on your face! Best of luck with the new one. |

Good list but wouldn't you want a bigger REAR sway bar to offset possible understeer.

When I spoke to John @ Wheels World, he said that the newer models were different from the previous ones.
Might be an idea having a look at some of the 11+ driveway threads to see what people have done. Front are ok, I would be hesitant to use the rears. The design of the bracket that sits inside the rear lower control arm needs a redesign and will fail prematurely due to the way in which the nut/bolt gets tightened down onto the weld. Might I suggest getting the front and rear shifter bushings first, I found a much better improvement from doing them alone. Might be worthwhile looking at group N mounts and better bushings for the gearbox.
