It doesn't matter if you lose to an RS. At the end, you're the one riding in style!

I had sport suspension on mine but just installed some Vogtland springs and I never knew what kind of a difference some better springs could make.

Purems but I should of gone w/ H&R race springs instead. These ones still sit a little higher then I wanted. I also could have saved about 50 bux.

Tonight on the way home from work it kinda happened. I was driving home and going about 75 on this long stretch slightly up hill. I saw what looked to be the *** of a subaru. Wasn't really sure tho so i didnt speed up to make the pass. But once i caught up i knew it was an RS just not sure if it was his or not. I followed close so he coudl see the 4 rings, and once we went through one more turn he hammered down. I caught up easily and was right on his ***. We hit about 90 and i was about to make the pass but his road was coming up so he went to the left and i went by him. I think if it were to continue it woulda ended up with a close match. His 60-90 time seemed pretty slow compared to mine since i didnt even have it down near the floor. Close, but one more run on him should tell

my two rear coilsprings were replaced 1000 miles ago bc of them being rusted out and cracked. So they aren't too bad, But still a good amount of body roll
