What is the next thing to do?

[Robby1989]

I have an 04 wrx with a cobb stage 2, i have a perrin up and down pipe, a generic exshust, crank pully, spt intake, cobb springs, and a kartboy short throw, ngk sprakeplugs! I dont want to do the whole upgrade turbo thing till next summer so i can save this winter! I was wondering what a would be a good next investment in my car? I really want to do everything right and make a nice car so any tips would be great! Thanks

What about sway bars and endlinks? Those are good upgrades also how are your tires on your car. One of the best upgrades I did was upgrade my shoes on the car.

+1 to what was suggested above. Or just save as you will need injectors, pump, IC and turbo for the turbo swap/upgrade.

i'd also have to second the sway bars/ end links...atleast the rears. i also have an h-brace and would recommend that as well as any other frame bracing if you're looking for a mean stiff car that hugs the road. bushings wouldn't be bad either (front and rear shifter and steering rack). they are pretty cheap and easy to install. Tires might be great for you as well. i personally go through them in 12K miles or less so i never spend much on them.

i've also been looking into DIY poting and polishing which i will start undertaking. don't know how much of a DIYer you are but there are so many options. you could do your manifold, UP, and throttle body. Doing the IC pipng and turbo would probably be a waste of time and grinding bits if you're looking to upgrade in a year.

Yea i am going to do the rear sway bar and links next weekend, i am just going to do the rear for now then the front later! I saw on ebay they have f+r strut bars and h brace for like $100 waste of money or will they work? I am pretty handy I am a body man/painter so i work with car all day. I am going to look in to doing that! My tires are about junk and i need new ones, i am having a graduation party for high school soon so i am going to get rims and tires hopefully, but what is the perfect size i want 18s? What off set do i get and wht tire size do i run? Thanks

Suspension is always a great idea

Seriously, these cars are not Hondas, dont trust ebay and the parts you find on there. Every once and awhile you might find something that is actually labled right or decent, but not really. As fa as tires go, research/search offset and what not. This has been discussed very often lately.can't figure out offset
Wheel offset
Wheel / Tire FAQ
The last one should really help.

Get yur turbo ported and polished, manifold as well.

[Robby1989]
