    My Bugeye, now with more JDM!

    car looks darn good, esp the RS 6-spoke goldies on black rex. IMHO the tacked on STI hood scoop mod is not up to level of rest of car. there are lots of high-rise scoops out there that fit the 02-03 hood opening just right while still adding the little xtra JDM yo edge to body style. din't I...

    Time for some new shocks.....what to do?

    the single best bang for the buck handling improvement is good tires. bar none. modest upsizing, like 225/50-16 adds a lot of grip without making your car a pothole time bomb like 35 or 45 profile tires/wheels would then springs/struts (resist urge to go overboard here, stock is actually darn...

    Time for some new shocks.....what to do?

    not 100% certain, but I believe that KYB does not have an AGX fitment for wrx wags...the goombahs! at least they din't last time I checked tirerack.com :dontknow: it's the rears that are in question. The wrx sedan AGX rear struts would bolt on, but who knows how ride height would be...

    How resilient are the 2.5 l blocks with overheating?

    re-reading your original post, the overheat episode wasn't long enough or hot enough to do anything bad--this is why temp guages wuz invented, so observant droivas don't cook they new cars before due time. now when a 2.5 overheats so bad the motor starts chugging/bucking, and when you stop and...
