Forgive me if I'm asking something that has already been discussed but I didn't have time to read through all 35 pages.

Anyway, does it matter what type of waterproof silicone we use? Due to the heat output of the lights, I was wonder if it has to be something that can withstand heat without compromising its seal.

Its possible, but not really smart on AWD vehicles. You'll put extra wear and tear on your diffs.

 

And as a personal opinion, I'd laugh if I saw an AWD car with a staggered setup.

Thanks, that's what I thought. I was just curious because I wanted to give my outback a wider and better stance. But I’m maxed out as far as wheel width goes. I already have minor wheel bite going on.

Which is a better first mod (aside from wheels and tires) if I’m looking to improve the suspension, cornering, and handling…

1. COBB Tubular Sway Bars or

2. COBBStrutTower Brace

Pros and Cons for these or should I use both?

well, a wider wheel can have wider rubber (with the chance of rubbing). Wider rubber means more traction, so yeah better handling.

 

What I dont' get is, why the love for narrower wheels? No offence, just curious, because wider wheels always look better in my opinion.

I'm looking at two different sets of rims. The only reason I have love for the narrower wheels is because I like the design and spoke pattern better.

Will the performance and handing be much better on an 18x8 wheel compared to an 18x7 wheel? I like the looks of the 18x7 better but I’m will to sacrifice for better handling.
