Rays 2.5RS so far..

[Ray]

So Ive had the car for about 2 months now and have done some small things, lights, rims, Apex-i N1 exhaust and such but what to do next? any suggestions?

pretty much how I got it, after the body damage was fixed and Rally America decals

painted WRX rims

3 hella fogs, custom made bracket by me, scoops gone b/c i'm making one out of carbon fiber

Rear sway bar/ endlinks should be your next step.

when i had it up on the lift i noticed my rear sway bar was about the diameter of a sharpie:idk:

The road in the first pic looks terribly fun to bomb around on.

 

[katnip]

adjustable sway, endlinks (stocks are wimpy), strut bars, AGX's

 

[Nigel Prodrive]

stock WRX takeoff rear sway and endlinks will be a noticeable upgrade, cheap.

Once again, Dave is right. I just put a WRX RSB with endlinks on my 2.5 and the difference was noticable at the first turn. You'll appreciate it big time!

 

[Nigel Prodrive]

heh, if you DO make the WRX upgrade, please realize that the car will handle very differently.

drop the throttle mid turn or dab in a bit of left-foot braking...and get ready to countersteer, that back end WILL rotate, stat!

fun once you're used to it, but the learning curve can be a bit...sporty.

does the year the WRX rear sway bar comes off of matter?

An STi bar will be too long for your car I believe....but this one is coming from a WRX. I wish that folks would just list the length of these bars as well as the diameter. It would make life a lot easier. I know for a fact that an STi RSB will not fit my car and that the wagons (which I know you do not have) take a different bar than the sedans. Hummmm.

 

[Ray]

good point, im sure i can find an OEM one cheaper too

02-05 WRX RSBs should be Ok for a GC, the STI stuff is pretty model specific and don't backdate well

sorry to threadjack, but is it the same with GC wagons? Would I need a WRX wagon RSB?

[jcovey2.5]
