Or me, starting with a lifted automatic wagon even slower than your RS
Wheels and tires.......lost track, since I'm on about set #5. Ran 15's, then 16's, then 17's currently, with big, sticky tires.
Somewhere in there, GC kit on WRX suspension to get the car down and dirty, endlinks, little crap.
Some bigger brakes (Wilwood 4pots)
I replaced my airbox with a cone because the stock airbox was a hassle, I have a header-back setup waiting to go on, but the car's still basically stock plus some major handling upgrades.
Then a little bit of cosmetic stuff, but you'd never know by looking at it, becuase I'm not into bodykits, that sorta stuff.
So my car's still slow, but looks clean, doesn't draw the wrong kind of attention, and handles really well, though that can be improved, too..
Just takes more $$......
That said, I'm a JDM whore, and throw money at dinky little parts that do nothing to make my car faster
