Thanks man! The 500s had some spring binding issues and roller bearings that were shot. Also the dampening knobs hardly worked and the brake brackets had to be modified to fit. Although they were the generation 3 500s. The generation 4 510s have been wonderful, but after speaking to several legitimate sources, I'm convinced the RCEs are the route to go. I like that they are kw shocks, and come with helper springs. It doesn't suck that they have the best reviews out of any coilover in regards to performance and comfort.

Hey 370zforme,

That's a really beautiful Subaru you have. I like all the mods you've done- but nothing that ruins the look or function of the stock STI
It does seem like you can't decide on an exhaust for the car. . . Does Meisterschaft make an exhaust for Subarus ? .

Thank you man! Ya I'm just kind of picky when it comes to exhaust tone and look. To me, it is a very important aspect of a car's performance and aesthetic value. I wish meisterschaft made an exhaust for my car. They sound amazing.

Yeah. . . Exhaust is important, no doubt. I like how my Legacy's stock exhaust is silent @ cruise, then emits nice tone when flooring it.
I spend time washing/detailing the muffler tip whenver I wash the car, too haha - - - -
