  1. Did my first autocross this past weekend (south Fla event) on my LGT. Quite pleased with the result. Got in the STU class against some seasoned STI and EVO drivers. I was about 1-2 sec behind them. More importantly the car felt great , very neutral with the rear rotating well. Others said the car "looked good out there". A bunch of the subie guys flocked around my ride (one of two Legacys there and the only wagon) Will definitely not be doing a front bar. Way more fun than my 05 WRX I ran last year.
  2. With the adition of a rear bar I reiterate what many have said. It should have come from the factory this way. Personally think coilovers are great if properly set up but not really needed. Beanboy is on the right track. JDM rear bar might be a good start too as others have suggested.

     

    Swapped cars for a few the other day with a friend of mine who has a BMW 335. Really can't make a comparison but he was dutifully impressed with my 05 5mt LGT.

  3. Big mistake not doing the sways,especially with the power you are looking for. Single biggest bang for the buck and smile factor comes from upgrading the rear bar (no real need to change the front bar) I've had 4 subies with all of them benefitting from a rear bar. Just did the rear bar last week on my LGT (progress 22mm redesigned bar) and it just did wonders for the handling. Just make sure to use the softer setting with the stock front bar. BTW no major snap oversteer yet taking my usual Increasing and decreasing radius ramps at warp (at times ridiculoue) speed. BTW I have Spec B struts and wheels with swift springs.
