Nice Link, how do you like it? I go through stages of wanting a wickde Sedan (C63, M3, IS-F etc) but have never talked to anyone who had a Lexus...

^Thanks tora...IMO, you never go wrong between M and F. I look down C63, that car just can't turn!

M3 should give a little more direct driving experience than F. I personally dislike M3, and I was sick of visiting European dealership almost every week,
so I went back to JDM and picked up the F, which has a newer design Torsen LSD and should be comparable to M3.

But still STi is more practical...

Looks deadly. RPF1s are a great fit for the STi.

Nice! Delete the body spacers and put in some Koni inserts, RCE wagon springs, sway bars, a 6 speed, and bigger brakes

Some fruit for thought before you jump into deleting the spacers...

so you'll need:
-wrx/sti front crossmember studs
-wrx/sti steering joint
-wrx/sti pitchstop
-wrx/sti trans crossmember
-wrx driveshaft
-wrx 5 speed shifter assembly

new bolts for the driveshaft carrier bushing too. They're shorter.
Also, new intercooler splitter, cause your engine moves upwards.
wrx lower rad hose, cause thats different

trying to remember what else...

you guys kill me! haha.. it'll be too much work. lol and brembo pads are $$ !!

and i've heard that tokico d-specs/rce blacks are a good all around combo; not too low but capable for odd track jaunt yet comfy for daily! sway bars i have my old sway bars off my 06 sti, will have to see if they fit (apparently they do but i'll need to get new mounting points b/c the fozzie shares the same weak mounting point as 04s?).

Us Forester guys are all kinds of helpful, you couldn't get slowguy on sf?

Yes the RSB mounts can pull off when you upgrade, Whiteline has a LLWS kit, these guys make one; ixizRelinxsup http://www.ixizconcept.com/ , and there are a few MoBoost floating around too.
