I personally would stick the STi Genome on the foz as it will be a more worthwhile addition IMO. For instance, when you are switching from the bug to the foz you will not miss the exhaust note as much and therefore it should be much more pleasant to drive.. Then when you seek an adrenalin rush you can rush back into your 2.5 xxxhp bugeye!

It will also provide better results when sticking the VF34/35 on it, not that your looking for the most amount of power

Regards,

Subaru Collector 555.

Bang on mate... Recently been using the foz a lot more and when I do jump in the bug to take it for a spin it defo puts more of a smile on my face to hear the noise... Some love it some hate it but the Nur spec has to have the most fun factor in terms of sound...

Martin

Ps vf35 going in the foz should make for a good daily too lol

I loved my Nur Spec complete with a decat and cone filter, but in trying to make the car track compliant it had to go - if it was easier to swap them back I'd keep both

What model Subaru did the coil overs come from and was it a straight fit or did you have to change a few things

They were off a classic mate, fronts fit fine rears need newage top hats though... Think all the suspension mods are the same as the classic imprezas
