man i miss my S2k
BTW: how did the car feel compared to the stockers? do you feel the added weight and tire size? are you still N/A or boosted? been debating going 18's forever

The only aftermarket parts on the car are wheels/tires, coilovers, rear rca's. It will be N/A for a while.
As for the extra weight, I didn't really notice a change in acceleration/deceleration. It has to be so small I'm surprised when I read people saying they noticed. The weight of the wheel is actually less than stock (about 18.5 lb on my scale) which is not too bad. Granted the tires weigh quite a bit more.
The turning feel is a little bit heavier. I wouldn't say it's a negative thing because the amount of grip you get in exchange is huge.
I went wheels/tires first on this car because I felt that the stock tires were a huge weak link. Other than power of course. The stock Michelin tires are awful, for any car. I kinda understand what Subaru was doing to make it "driftable", but I can still break loose in 1st and 2nd pretty easily with 265s. 18 x 9.5's may be overkill but hey it looks sweet and handles great.
