I've already gotten to the point where I'm maxing out the car's potential with stock suspension and nice tires (Pilot super sports), so with this extra bit of power taken care of, I'll then dive head over heals into suspension

Personally do the suspension over power, it will change the car completely and will be worth the investment before being like "POWAH"

But boost. Plus cheaper to do power and need to still save for some other things

What other things? If the car isn't running 100% more boost would be the last thing you would want to do.

Eh let him learn the very hard and expensive way then. You can only tell someone what you recommend but can't force them to do it.

I mean, my stock suspension isn't bad. You can just tell it's a 3600lb wagon when it comes to a rough road.

Oh dear then you got quite a bit you need to do. Stock is bad for being aggressive with driving. i.e.me when I spun out in my jetta

Or in the case of a Miata, stock is fine for being aggressive with driving

Everything is gonna be touched eventually with this thing. But 75 cents over minimum wage doesn't build racecars over night

I plan on doing brakes when I do my front strut bar, and then coilovers a paycheck or two after that

Its also like perfectly balanced  My wagon I have now the rear sway bar was like a pencil for thickness and just swapped both of them to STI wagon sway's for some better handling.

Most cars just understeer and is pretty easy to manage. The only car that's ever surprised me with oversteer that I've driven is my Miata. I added a 'lil bigger front sway bar to correct that problem and it's pretty much perfectly balanced now

My wagon's rear was 12mm why subaru thought it was good is beyond me

So, you shoot a lot of stance cars it seems. Is that a style you like at all, or has grown on you since you've started shooting them? Wondered that for a while now

I'm impartial to stance; if it's done well then sure, but I'm not crazy about the slammed to the ground style. Sometimes it looks nice, other times it just looks like a ruined car.

 

Edit: bagged cars I'm OK with but static isn't my thing

 

That being said, I will be attending Importfest and Import Expo at the end of the season though.
