I might switch my front sway bar to full stiff because i was having trouble getting the back end around on the turn arounds.


I'm actually thinking about just keeping the car and when my wrx comes in keeping it stock. It is too fun to get rid of

Centrifugal definitely is a hoot when you wind it out. Especially with a high redline, it just keeps pulling harder and harder!! What is your front/rear tire pressure? Try raising the rear pressure and lowering the front.
I found (after owning a wrx) that the AWD was lacking in excitement for me and I knew I always needed some RWD in my life, there's no wrong answer though. Feel it out and see!

I run 27psi square. It worked out for me when NA on REs but now both those changed. The wear looks good but I havent thought about it much.


Also I will not be autocrossing the wrx. I just wanted a car that has a suspension that wont rattle my fillings out, and has working AC. 4 Doors is a major plus too. The 6k redline is real bummer when you had 8k to play with before :burnrubber:
