And how many of those didn’t beat on the car or mod it?
+1.
Yea, the stock ringlands are junk. New Cosworth bottom end will be stout.
I’d stick with the suspension stuff. Makes the car so much more fun, and a lot less to worry about. For sway bars, go with Whiteline. I have them on both my Legacy and my GTR, and I wouldn’t recommend anything else. Get a good set of end links as well. Stick with stock shocks/struts, but change the springs out to something like Swift.
For engine stuff, Invidia turbo back, air filter, and reflash the stock ECU. Enjoy.
