archer1.8 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 if you just want a drop. KYB Gr2's and your choice of spring. Koni Yellow are adjustable struts/shocks and take lowering springs better than the GR2's which are mostly an OE replacement. I had the gr2's with sti springs on my 04 Impreza rs and I really liked it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickSpur Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I have Eibach Pro-Kits on stock struts. They've been a really nice ride for the past two years, no problems with the struts. The gap is like 2-2.5 fingers though in the front. Probably 2 in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMXBYKR Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I have gr2s with Cobb springs for about 5 yrs now, love it. The ride is very comfy and yet very sporty. Handles great and isn't harsh on the family. The drop is 1.75"F/1"R. Also recommend a beefier rear sway bar (I have the Cobb), helps handling a great deal. As far as oil. I've used Mobil1, but am very excited to say that I switched. I now use Rotella synthetic, and love it. The oil consumption has gone down to a minimal. I would also paint the grill mesh black. The TMIC, I have the Perrin coated black and like it, don't know alot about the AVO, but I also got my Perrin for a steal. Also agree on the banjo bolt maintenance, don't want your turbo seizing up. Very nice ride, love the white LGTs. And I am also sorry about your loss, I couldn't imagine the pain. Congrats on the new ride and welcome aboard.

SGT Daddy Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I have Swift Springs with Blisten HD Struts, I like it so far on about 6months no issues. I also have Kart boy end links F/R and Whiteline Racing F/R adjustable SB's. I have included a pic for you to see. Please note wagons suffer form the optical saggy butt issue.

LosAngelesLGT Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 My parts list cost me 3x the cost of your car! What a STEAL of a deal! Great looking headlights and grill. Looks like a GS plate mount too and a few other odds and ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famaya26 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 ^ thanks! can u believe the day before i bought her I almost dropped 13k on a 04 Acura TL. As far as future mods I'm hoping to get my TMIC replaced as its starting to leak. Going with a Perrin as Ive found it for a good price on FredBeansParts.com After that I'll definitely lower her and install a lip. Also gonna need some new rims lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also going to get some aVO LCA bushings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famaya26 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Found a video of the previous owner racing a S2000. My cars been through a lot. Reading one of his comments I noticed he states CatLess UpPipe, then going 3' Catless for Stage 3. He sold the car stock so im wondering if I have a catless UP?

famaya26 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Omg I Posted UP instead of DP. I read on the comments that he had a gutted DP. So is there a way to tell if it's gutted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users seabass07 Posted July 26, 2012 Mega Users Share Posted July 26, 2012 Well for one, you'd be going over your boost targets. If you're on a stock map, you'd be knocking like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famaya26 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 I've been doing research and found he went stage 3. Got the car tuned by Henderson Performance in Austin, TX. Was only stage 3 for 5k miles then went back to stock, I think he went stock turbo but stage 2. Doesn't mention retuning the car.

famaya26 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 I think I will do that. One problem is I don't have a computer. I do everything online using my iPhone. The car runs fine, I just found out about the Stage 3 after searching my VIN through google. PO was a member on this site. No longer logs in. We will see what happens. Thanks for the input.
