Yo whats up anyone with a newer Impreza 2.5. I guess I'm the first one to post. I've got a 2004 2.5RS with some basic suspension mods. I'm still tryin to choose the path of power I want to go with (all the bolt ons and head mods or turbo) but I'm goin all out on the suspension. As of now I've got STi pink springs, STi pink rear swaybar, kartboy rear droplinks, Whiteline front swaybar (hasn't gone on yet), Offensive Power fender braces/cowl stays, and Whiteline steering rack bushings (hasn't gone on yet). I plan on gettin kartboy front droplinks, whiteline anti lift kit, STi pink lateral links and trailing arms, STi group n strut mounts, Cusco rear carbon fiber strut bar, Cusco titanium front strut bar, and there are some more things that I can't remember right off the top of my head at the moment but I'm lookin to make my car handle as good as possible. When I'm done with the suspension then I'll start on the power. Either I'll do intake, throttle body, port the intake manifold, port n polish the heads, equal length header, high flow cat, catback, cams, valves, springs, retainers, everything possible to add power and build up the engine as a naturally aspirated car or get an AVO turbo kit, high output header, high flow cat, wrx or sti catback with the extra 3" section added so it will fit my car, a turbo head job, and eventually as money comes build the engine up as a nice turbo'd 2.5. After suspension and power are done I'll work on exterior but basically my plans for that are STi wagon front lip, 9-2x side skirts, STi wagon rear lip, rear spoiler and waist spoiler, depending on if I go turbo and if I do top mount or front mount I'll get a carbon fiber hood, whether it'll have a scoop or not will be choosen later, I've got a few wheel options in mind such as STi wheels, Volks, Advans, but I'll choose those later, body matched mirrors. Interior wise I dunno yet, I like the Sparco Milano's but I'll sit in a bunch of seats and see what I like most, I was thinkin of doin the floor with red carpets (like the STi has blue, but red cause my car is red), more than that I haven't thought too much into that yet cause there are many mods before there. Stereo I'll prolly put in a nice head unit, nice component speakers, maybe mb quart qsd 216 but I doubt I'll be puttin in subs cause that'll weigh the car down and head unit and speakers are just a swap. Those are my basic plans for the car, maybe as I get to a component thats going to be upgraded I'll see somethin I like more but yeah I'm jus givin an idea of what I got planned.

Cool dude, I love the idea of getting all the suspension mods done first! Ide say go turbo though, you will regret it in the long run!

great way to start with suspension!

if you love the Boxer rumble then dont get equal length headers. the performace increse in not worth it and you wont get the unique boxer rumble that our subies have.

good luck with the modding!!!
