do OEM STI headlamps fit in our cars? because I heard that they will fit into a WRX and that they just drop right it... but I don't have a WRX.. and I also have heard that they are better than getting an HID kit.. if not what is a good HID kit for our cars?

No HID kit is good. Yes all headlights 08+ WRX/STI will fit.

I'd personally say stick with stock halos, and get HID kit... Then use that money that was supposed to go into a headlight (around $600?), and save it for future mods. |

DDM tuning HID's seem to be popular with the 2.5i group. 35w 4500k-6000k. Anything above 6000k will look blue and may be a cop magnet as it is an "emergency" color.

so i've added a RSB, upgraded Springs / dampers. Car definitely feels alot more neutral on corners.
What other mods would fellow 2.5i-ers recommend? Are upgrading bushings worth the money? like ALK or Diff Bushings |

Tires are a definite +1, short shifter&bushings, upgraded brake pads, grimmspeed mastercylinder brace, new brake fluid. The suspension bushings are really upto you. I purchased nearly every bushing that will fit our cars (including the rear diff bushings and ALK) and some really are just not worth it unless your building a track car and/or you want your car to be 100% stiff lol. If anybody does want to buy whiteline's ALK (anti-lift kit) or rear diff bushings feel free to pm me! |

Don't get a HID kit unless you have HID projectors. If all you want is more light output look at H9 bulbs, they're pretty much the same bulb design as the stock ones. You can get a pair for less than $15 and have a lot more usable light than the stock bulbs and you won't blind everyone on the road.

But for stock set up, probably wouldn't happen at all, heat shields not necessary. Just a protection thing. I was so much happier when they were gone. Not a single noise now. |
