All makes sense. I've just never seen that big of a change in any other vehicle I've ever driven. Thanks for quick responses!

Thanks!
I want to say OEM. The center piece was black and not silver and the subaru badge I took off was screwed onto it and not taped. My friend (whose WRX is in the back) says it is OEM. |

I need to swap my winters still but I think they weigh in close. RPF'1 (235/40/18 ) V. Steelies (205/55/16) but the handling on the Enkies is a huge improvement. I dig rolling on nice wheels but, I WANT SNOW!

Would upgraded front swaybar endlinks be a wise investment for a 2.5i? Trying to decide how to spend Christmas money

I guess upgraded front sway and links would be good then. Is your car suffering from too much oversteer or doesn't turn-in very well?

Pcolasurfer, your front windshield is dark as fuhhhk! Hows driving at night?
Oh and I purchased and installed the OEM WRX catback and I'm happy with the upgrade. Slightly deeper tone, MUCH better looking tip, and seemed to accelerate faster between 3k and 5k RPMs. MPG's seemed to be higher than normal even though I had the OEM 2.5i exhaust in the car and a bunch of bags from a weekend trip too.

I have my whole front windshield tinted at 30% and doors and back glass at 20%. I upgraded lights to help project out a little more. But I've had no problems with it. I live out in country as well. So its very dark out at night (no street lights I mean)

Extremely easy cause it was direct bolt on. It took about 20 - 30 minutes considering the guy I bought it from cleaned it up with some steel wool before installing. We had air powered tools to make it even easier. The gasket was pretty rusted, but I drove across PA yesterday with it and there were no issues. Maybe after this winter it will be replaced, not necessary at this point though.

Got the A-pillar squeaks taken care of for free with this tsb http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...9&postcount=20 also got my engine flushed and I am now running subaru synthetic oil. I asked how often to get oil changed. She said I only needed to come in every 10k for an oil change to keep warantee.....I've never heard of going that long. Thoughts anybody?
