So I've found the following options:
Group N Motor Mounts : 120
Group N Stopper Pitch :50 or $120 for an aluminum one
Group N Transmission Mount : 75
So that's $ 245 for the cheap route, I'm thinking a mental stopper pitch would be bad but and i'de rather not spend the extra for something that won't help
Kart boy Front shifter bushing 35 they claim it makes shifting more crisp seems like a good idea.
Group N Front Strut Top Mount : 128 I bent my first set of kport top mounts, and now i'm on camber plates which worry me so i'de rather not worry while going over jumps.
Here's where i have some options
I found an energy suspension bushing set for imprezas for $119 from summit.
Item -------------- GroupN ---- Energy --- WhiteLine
A Arm bushings (4) --- 148 ------- X -------- 186
front Sway bar (2) ------ --------- X
Rear Sub Frame (4) -- 68.96 -
Rear Trailing Arm (4) - 86.2 ------- X -------- 118
Rear Track arm (8 ) -- 106.3 ---------------- 148
Rear sway bar (2) ----------------- X
Front shifter mount ---------------- X
Going Energy suspension and Whiteline for the rear track arms is $267 which is only $40 more than dropping in Group N for the rear track arms. I could go Group N for everything but at an added cost.
I could also skip the rear sub frame bushings, but since that's where the rear track arms attach to it would seem a bit dumb to leave those as the 17 year old stockers...
Sounds like the Polyurathane will offer the best handling while sacrificing some ride quality and it will reduce the protection offer by having more compliance. esp with scotts wording i like this option more, and its my cheapest option. My transmission mount is really beat so its due for replacement my track arm bushings are shot. I'm not sure if I should change the front sway bar bushings, is that going to (to a small degree) act like a stiffer swaybar since it won't be able to deflect while twisting as much?
Also Rally Idaho was crazy crazy smooth roads, should i think about using a 19 mm front sway and perhaps a rear sway @ that event ? (and maybe going back to a stiffer spring set that i have, and used very successfully last season)
Hmmf.
12 pound fly wheel : 168 Could skip this but it will probably help out in rally cross a lot where like autox its almost all 2nd gear driving
D&D motor $400
Ansel has a 1.8L head gasket set i could use on it, and i got a timing belt set for it (water pump + oil seals) so if i want to stay Production 2wd USRC legal that's everything i can do to her. To the best of my knowledge there was never a FWD Impreza with anything but a 3.90
So i think that's about that.
