Default OK i am thinking of mods!!!!

Well i might have been bitten by the bug regarding a few mods for my WRX PPP, i want to keep the understated look but with maybe starting to add a few mods. Remember this car is used every day so i want to be still able to run the thing. Maybe thinking along the power route.

All depends on budget and goals.

Some whiteline goodies (ARB, DropLinks, ALK) would be a good move, coupled with 4 wheel geometry. (About £400-500 all in)

Brakes (DS2500 pads, braided hoses) £250.

Power; Turbo, STI intercooler, injectors, pump.

Ah the list goes on...

Suspension first; then brakes.

Exactly the order i had it in, although (apart from springs) i did it in reverse and now i've found myself at the start of the list again.

Stroll on tomorrow...

Brakes - pretty poor
Suspension - pretty good but even better with a set of prodrive springs and proper alignement

However I'd definately do the springs first - transforms the handling and makes the car much more enjoyable to drive, plus stops squirrels nesting in your wheelarches..
