Talking My silver WRX MY95 Import, (Updated, Tein S Springs fitted today pics & video)

Heres my WRX Import MY95 with 92km, now has 104km.

I bought in Sept 07 like this:


The Journey:










How it is now:




Next mods/idea's
Looking to lower, Tein S springs or H&R Springs, - unsure which way to go?

HKS Dump valve (worthwhile?)
Facelift front bumper

I really want to get more power, but unsure whether its worth it and how much it would cost and the ebst route?

Standard, to my knowledge they are 260.
I have a decat f/ss exhaust system = 265/270bhp?

What to do next? And what power gains to expect?

I want to keep this going as my updated picture section.

Any opinion, advice woudl be great

Thanks

JQ

What to do next how about brakes mate as it looks like the 2 pot sliders on the car and tbh they have no chance if you up the power and usually struggle on normal power whack some 4 pots or gold brembos on gold brembos are awsome on a classic and prices are pretty good aswell Great looking car tho esp with the cusco grapics

Hi JQ
Did you have to get a facelift grille that can specifically fit between the pre facelift bonnet and bumper or did you get someone to modify it?
