Everyone learns sometimes, most people do it on a less expensive car is all.

Its AWD…You can get a 1.6 out of a stock suspension STi maybe even better with the right tires…

If It was RWD I would say ya suspension would be a big part…

My bad… I thought that at first.

There should be no question about driveline or suspension. Axles will eventually break but along with the motor im accounting for and buying new rear axles (lol ask Mike about voltron) and thats just for preventative reasons. Those will probably be the first things to go so I dont want a lot of down time if/when they do.

He definitely doesn’t need any more suspension or braking parts for what he’s doing. He does need rear axles if he ever wants to launch the car at the track. They won’t last very long at all.

DSS stage 5 is 1600 bucks. I have their pro level kit but stage 5 is fine for your use. If you want to plan ahead you’d need the pro level kit and slicks to make use of the 42R.
