I'd like to see some actual stock suspension stroke measurements, so we have some sort of baseline data.
Otherwise, do a track day with data logging, find the weak links, and design & improve accordingly.

light as hell flywheel, slightly heavier clutch, try to smooth out the torque dip in the midrange, delete atleast one of the cats, make the exhaust sound 'cool' without losing power.

This is coming from a customer who has money in hand to spend. Just no car yet lol.
I'd like for you guys to recommend a suspension package (coilovers & sway bars) coupled with a wheel and tire package that increases the roadholding performance of the car but preserves its balance and predictability. In other words, don't change how the car communicates to the driver just make the performance better in every way. Evidently, Subaru gave you guys a great platform to start with but something that's well balanced is easy to throw out of whack. Keep in mind that many of us will be daily driving this so this won't be like your Time Attack Evo or the FXMD NSX. I'd love to have a street friendly package that allows me to shave off 5-8 seconds from my best stock trim lap time and still enjoy the ride home. That's all. You've got your work cut out for you |

Evasive
![]() been a fan since s2ki, so nice to see you here. wheel fitment. i hear the inner clearance on stock wheels is 20mm from rim to spring... so widest wheel fitment non-staggered please. 9.5 all around would be awesome. single exit exhaust, passenger side exit 200hp out of a 12.5:1 2.0l motor seems low.. i know its restricted.. find out where and show us what this little motor can really do! two piece rotors, same size as stock. aluminum caliper replacement. trying to stay away from the huge bbk's and increase in unsprung weight. roll center adjusters. toe links, steering rack spacers.. basically anything that can correct lowered geometry. the car needs a nice drop for aesthetics.. but it seems anything more than .5-.75 inch is a bit much for the front suspension. would be awesome to be able to drop it ~1.5 with correct geometry something to increase camber and caster. maybe camber/caster plate? things to save weight. weigh the stock hood, its aluminum. see if any gains would come from good carbon. look into lightweight battery replacement. stock seat weight front and rear. side mirrors are huge.. apr or craftsquare maybe. replacement rear diffuser with single exit for aesthetic purposes lol. well, if you can incorporate a rear diffuser with a single exit. .that would be killer. and i can really picture the car with a bumper thats modeled closely to stock but with a carbon lip.. or a nice looking lip on stock bumper, a carbon diffuser and a nice voltex wing. guess thats it

i'm aching for some Voltex diffuser upgrades. I would spend for that. I like the suggestion for replacement headers too.

I'm gonna modify this car, but I'll be holding back while others do the R&D on the FI until a few racers blow up their engines and they find the weak points for us. Normally I'd start with the suspension but it seems to be so well sorted that I think I'll be starting with power. I'd really like to see what can be done with simple items, intake mani, header, exhaust, and tune. Also, an in depth look at the heads/valvetrain, including flowbenching them, to see what they're capable of and what could improved upon.
