View Full Version : with birthday $$ between 2-250$, what to get..anything for an RS DangeRS 08-20-2001, 01:19 AM Hey my birthday is coming up, its in september...and i am thinking i am going to get 2-250.. 300 pushing it, and i want it all to go towards my 01RS. I want opinoins and everything, i was thinking just to get a NICE intake, or an intake and swap bar, or something. I havnt been on i-club in a while, i dont really know what is OUT now, and whats new.. so Help a bday kid out... suggestions and opinoins are a PLUS bensonwrx 08-20-2001, 04:02 AM Happy birthday then :) Sounds like this is going to be your first mod? Well, for the stock suspension, get yourself a 18mm sway bar (not swap bar btw). FHI is way cheaper, and the adjustable is useful however cost more. An intake will run around $200, so your budget is gonna be tight for both. Other than the sway bar, or you can just invest in a nicer set of tires. All-season is what I am talking about here. Check out Cobb, iSR, SPD and other vendor sites for new products info :) Good Luck -Alan (Another MY98 Owner) cRayZee 08-20-2001, 04:26 AM people will have different answers to this question. They'll say mod it according to your driving style. yadda yadda... another one i always see is training the nut behind the wheel by taking some driving school or somethin. But here are my first two performance mods on my car (installed them at the same time) ganzflow cold air intake and fhi 20mm swaybar purcheased from larry : www.imprezars.com i think the swaybar is a great mod. reduces a lot of body roll and it'll reduce understeering. The ganzflow pulls cold air from the fenderwell and it sounds awesome. Dirt Man 08-20-2001, 09:05 AM The swaybar mod is recommended, also new tires make a world of difference (*****-can the RE-92's if you havnt already)! -=DriftxKing=- 08-20-2001, 09:58 AM Get the fattest rear sway bar you can get your hands on! slim speedy 08-20-2001, 11:22 AM Get a cobb CAI, its probably the best single thing I have done to my car. Although if you don't have suspension yet, you might want to think about that also. But you can't get many suspension parts for 2 - 300. dRu18 08-20-2001, 12:24 PM *ahem* sti struts on www.subaruparts.com 143.99 per pair.. that's about 300.. good struts =) Fido 08-20-2001, 01:03 PM Well you may as well want a rear sway bar and an intake, those are great starter mods, and useful to boot!

DangeRS 08-20-2001, 05:01 PM Kartboy, is how much $$$? and thats the best short shifter for the RS or is this a top like what the best exhaust is as well.... cRayZee 08-20-2001, 05:29 PM kartboy short shifter is really nice too. but if you go on a lot of twisty/windy roads and such, i'd recommend the rear sway bar |
