If they can't make a sandwich plate that doesn't leak, do you really want to keep their lines and heat exchanger on your car? I'd throw it all in the trash and buy a kit that's not garbage.

Yes. If I apply heavy throttle below 2000RPM the car bogs very badly and starts bucking.

You realize that the arms that are on the car now are stamped metal, right? Maybe you didn't because nobody ever sees them. The control arm is there for one purpose only, and it's not to look pretty.

Going with taller springs would be a much better option IMO. They would give you more bump travel and ground clearance. I wonder if there are any Impreza springs that would do the job?

I think the KW's have a 7mm hex on the end of the shock shaft. You need to use a pass through socket driver for the top nut while using a 1/4" Drive 7mm ratchet to hold the shaft in place.

Most O2 sensors are 22mm / 7/8". I've never taken the sensor out of the twins but I'd bet that it's the same size.

I'm not sure how audio differs from other AC circuits, but RMS is usually the peak power multiplied by .70711. I'm more of a mechanical guy, so I can't remember much about electrical theory.
