Be carefull with it, honestly i dont wanna sound like a dick but if your car has more then 30k miles on the stock motor your on borrowed time. I predict cracked ringlands in the near future…

And how many of those didn’t beat on the car or mod it?

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.
