quick rundown of vendor 'stages'

(purchased 2005-03-31)
-
225/45ZR-17 or 235/40ZR-17 tires [225's are more plentiful than 235's]

$124 @ http://www.jscspeed.com/wrx/electronics/blitz_dualtt.htm
- Koni dial-in suspension kit (shock absorbers & lowering springs):
$172 for front
$172 for rear
There was some all inclusive kit that I found somewhere, but apparently I was either drunk or hallucinating since I can't find it anymore. Sucks to be me. I can't go with the KYB AGX onces since I don't fancy the notion of removing the rear seats to adjust the things. TEIN makes a whole ~$1500 package that's electronically adjustable... hint for anyone wealthy, as my birthday is coming up in May.
- sport pedals (aluminum w/no-slip surfaces) - $29 @ discounttiredirect.com
(looks like they'd help with heel/toe'ing, too. good, coz i kinda suck at
that now)
- Stoptech Big Brake Kit (12.9" slotted front rotors, four piston calipers) - $1695 @ Vishnu
$1600 @ http://www.jscspeed.com/wrx/brakes/stoptech_bbk.htm
- cold air intake
- intercooler
- engine management system: TurboXS UTEC (dynamically change engine parameters;
needed since stock EMC is anal when it comes to 3rd-party modifications)
$959 @ http://www.jscspeed.com/wrx/electronics/turboxs_utec.htm + $79/remote @ http://www.jscspeed.com/wrx/electronics/turboxs_utec_rem.htm
- VF30 Turbocharger (good for 350hp... what about low-end torque and overall daily-driverness, tho?) - $995 @ Vishnu

$999 @ http://www.fastwrx.com/ihivfturup1.html
