will post pics soon, im gonna get it washed while we have this nice weather then get some snapshots...thanks for your input scotty. ive been reading a lot on the nasioc forum about the n/a imprezas. most people there agree that the hybrid intake is the way to go on the newer models, any suggestions on where i should look to get parts? i also did some research a little while back on getting a tactrix and romraider tune, if i remember right it is possible to tune the 2010s, if not im willing to wait. rallitek offers a spring kit, so that may be a possibility in the near future.

no problem, subaru brethren unite! hybrid is definitely the way to go. i'd suggest looking on ebay for the cheapest CAI kit you can find for your car...all you're really looking for is a simple metal pipe to go between the airbox and intake mani. then be sure to get 2 silicone couplers for the connections and a saw/dremel to shorten the intake tube.

your car is different from mine (CANBUS vs. non or something of that nature) but Romraider should eventually have the ECU parameters for yours. You can find used cables in the NASIOC classifieds which will save you some money, just be sure to get the right one (or find someone local to borrow from). most importantly do lots of research since you can bork your ECU or engine with the wrong cable or tune, and if you're not comfortable doing things yourself find a reputable tuner.

springs - you don't necessarily need N/A springs (Rallitek is a nice resource for us N/A guys but don't think you need to buy exclusively from them). i'm not sure whats available for your model but RCE blacks are great as well as OEM STi springs or STi "pinks" for a daily driven car. shocks are as, or more important than springs so don't forget them either.
