    Rally Racing...Subaru... perfect fit .

    Looks great, nice driving lights. I had a legacy GT once , I didn't care for it probably because it was auto and I had STi envy. I did have a lot of fun working on it & adding all the preformance upgrades. We'll see, I might end up with a WRX or STi one of these days.

    You won't get any arguments from me! I'm currently agonizing over what to do with the old 2.5RS. I love that car and I can't find anything else like it anymore. But there's hardly a lick of paint left on it, it needs a transmission overhaul and now I've got an exhaust leak somewhere.

    Sooo....yeah... if anyone's got a line on a nice Impreza, I'm in the market...

    The 2000 Impreza 2.5RS coup with a widebody is my fav. Subaru. I just wish that made the WRX or STI in the states.

    owned a wry for over 6 years before i bought my vx. Great car! rode it hard. I would highly not recommend lowering it. Maybe just tighten up the suspension with upgraded parts. I unfortunately lowered mine and took much away from it. I t did look good though.

    Swift gives slightly less than a 1" drop (7/8's I believe). Will do no harm to your stock struts. Something like Cobb springs "looks" good, but is damaging over time because their have an aggressive drop.

    Sways depends on what sort of ride you want. I personally recommend and use Whitelines, but I love a very stiff, responsive ride. Apron rumbling at 70mph+ is a piece of cake. Adjustable and tubular mm will determine what sort of ride/performance you get out of them.

    Definitely check on that downpipe. I don't know of a Borla downpipe that was ever made, but maybe I am mistaken. I am running a catted hi-flow Cobb downpipe to a Borla catback that is just phenomenal. Just be sure that the previous owner didn't slap a Borla catback on the OEM downpipe and use a CEL delete in his map to just close out CELs that would be visible from stg2 on a OEM DP. Gotta be vigilant when buying a used, modded car.

    That is a good deal actually. The WRX wagons are a well sought after model along the mid atlantic and that price doubles here. People just never bought in to the hatchbacks. The most sought after being the earleir model Forester FXT Sport and the even more elusive Forester FXT STi. THOSE are HOT. I just missed a deal an '07 last month in N.VA, but I was in no position to finance $22k for it.

    I like the gt's, but there are to big for my taste. If they made an STI version, that would be sick.
