For me there is nothing like the feeling of lateral G's.
I finally finished up my suspension yesterday and my car pulled just over 1.2 G's according to my phone. The best I was ever able to get out of the STi using the same phone was .98... I'm sure I could have done better in the STi if I did the same type of modifications.
It's amazing really. The thing just snaps around corners and feels so crisp.
Straight line acceleration has nothing on twisties and turnies and a well composed follow through IMO. To me, that is what makes the difference between a car that can accelerate and a car that is fast.

I think no matter what you do it will end up great no matter what. If it turns out anything like the last one I don't think you could do wrong no matter what road you take to be honest.
Looking forward to the build. :tup:

WOW thanks G, Means alot.
Well, the STi now handles like a go kart, but the bushings were a no go. Apparently you need to drop the rear subframe or have a special bushing removal tool to get at the diff bushings. I didn't order the inserts, I ordered the full replacements, DOH! I will probably hit up Kizen Tuning to see if it is something they can do relatively cheap. I will throw up some installed pics later on when I am not to lazy to download them!
I am going to do the Torque Solution Pitchstop mount and transmission mount and see how much slam I get rid of. I can make the rear end drop out the bottom sometimes
