Which should I buy? - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Ezdno · 2006-02-05, 07:47 PM

Injen Intake
Whiteline 22 MM Sway bar
MRT Anti-lift Kit
Rear camber bolts
Stainless brake lines (new never installed)
AVO Turbo World oil seperator kit (new never installed)

Which of these things should I look at buying, most of this stuff is $25 or $50, but I want to know if I should spend the cash on any of this stuff for my wagon? Came off a 03 WRX Sedan.

sway bar.

Don't bother with the intake unless you're planning engine managment. Intakes on a WRX are counter-productive unless you tune for them, and even then, they don't do much unless you're doing other mods.

sonicsuby · 2006-02-05, 07:55 PM

If, like your "class" says in your profile, you are really stock, I'd say swaybar for sure also. One of the best mods I've done.

Nick Koan · 2006-02-05, 07:56 PM

brake lines.

after you do the sway bar that is.

cody · 2006-02-05, 08:11 PM

I don't have them, but for a RSB as stiff as 22mm, you should get upgraded RSB mounts and, of course, solid endlinks...since you have an 03. The SS brake lines don't make a gigantic difference but couple them with new pads and fluid, and it's worth every penny IMHO.

The camber bolts will be good if you lower the car. Usually they are used in the rear since the stock camber bolts are only adjustable in the front. But my car has them installed in the front since the alignment shop that installed them failed at life. Luckily my car isn't lowered much in the rear so I have -1.1 camber all around.

ALK's increase NVH. Whiteline makes 3 different versions varrying from soft to hard bushings. I have no idea how stiff the bushings are in the MRT ALK.

No on the intake as Scott said.

If an oil seperator is the same as an oil cooler, you only want to use an oil cooler that has a thermostat so it is only circulating oil when the oil is hot. Otherwise your oil will take days to reach temp. If it removes water from your oil, that's cool. I want one.

tysonK · 2006-02-05, 08:16 PM

I think the SS brake lines made a pretty big difference in pedal feel. I have an 03.

Ezdno · 2006-02-05, 08:28 PM

Well I think I can get all of it for $150 bux. Which If I did, I guess I could resell it for some of my money back.

So the sway bar for sure, and the oil separator costs like 250 new. The question I guess I have is will all this stuff swap right to my wagon with out issues?

Buy it all, turn the intake around to another buyer, and leave off the ALK also if you plan to autocross with us a lot. If you're not planning to, or will run as a novice, none of us will really mind, and it's a great mod.

Ezdno · 2006-02-06, 09:18 AM

Well, I am probably gonna buy it all, but he told me $190 now for all of it, which is still a great deal. Nobody answered my question on whether or not it will all fit without issues, Brake lines for instance?

cody · 2006-02-06, 09:20 AM

What brand and part number is the SS line kit?

Nevermind, if it truly came off an 03, you're golden. If it was brakepads, it would be another story since there's a bunch of different front and rear caliper combinations on 03's. The lines are all the same though.

khail19 · 2006-02-06, 12:01 PM

Everything is compatible with your wagon as far as I know.

Dean · 2006-02-06, 06:19 PM

Like they said. Buy it all, or tell us where to. Is that a front bar, or rear?

Ezdno · 2006-02-06, 07:56 PM

I am going to buy it all, I will let you know what I am not gonna use. Thanks

oh and its a front.
