rotors, catless up pipe, solid trans mount, VERY nice you should get solid motor mounts too if you dont have them already. motor/trans mounts w/ rear subframe bushings were some of the best mods i did to my wrx. firms everything up quite nicely

how was that driving in traffic/every day - it is still the wifes car and its bad enoough im going to get yelled at cuz the clutch will be stiffer

 

[IDAFC21]

the stiffer mounts were nothing. the most vibration i noticed was when i had the A/C on and was sitting idling at a stoplight or something. it almost has a cammed kinda vibration to it, which i always thought was cool, haha. but now that i do have a cammed car, this thing shakes a lot worse than my wrx ever did w/ the solid mounts. the benefits outweighed the shortcomings for me at least. it was great pressing the gas down and having immediate response, instead of that little pause while the motor shifted and THEN put the power down

its not that bad. just get a bottle jack and a bunch of phone books so you can jack the engine up

 

[bikrboy128]

that looks safe.

 

[IDAFC21]

it worked, and i got to put a stack of useless phone books to good use for once :rollpicard:

got everything except the clutch and UP from fastwrx.com $850 shipped with 2 day air and 75lbs - not the best deal but pretty decent i thought


and for the uppipe - i figure with the car on a lift and the tranny out of my way the uppipe should be the easiest of those parts...

 

[SRT41320]

oh and www.fastwrx.com was awesome to deal with....they even called me to make sure it wasnt fraud and asked why i was shipping to a diff address then the billing address - super nice and helpful guys!!!

 

[IDAFC21]

i bought my brakes and other stuff from fastwrx they're awesome

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

sweet i'll check them out. i've got a friend that works at motorwerks and said we can use his lift. he did his uppipe so i dont see it being too bad....
