Not all Easy !
 
Yep, just done it, and it went in easy-peasy, except for a bit of radiator hose to connect the dump valve (???????) bloody Hyperflow, and the kit had various bits missing and the hose clips were packed wrong too.... ( 9 small 6 large instead of vice-versa).

Caused huge problems with the dump valve, car hesitated very violently till got a service and spring kit from Forge at the weekend, the extra pipework and massive intercooler causes the DV spring to be way too high, no-one tells you this.....

Spent twice as long doing the front bumper than doing the install !!!

Then had it re-mapped, worth about 10 bhp according to my mapper, but when the weather is really hot it will then help keep the power from fading.

Acres of lovely alloy fills the front bumper now, want a Scott-Lowe spoiler now to cut the lower inch of bumper out completely to maximise the airflow...

Front mount
 
When visting Sccobyclinic in chesterfield area B4 Xmas they had just fitted a front mount to a newage WRX the owner had modded like crazy since getting the car and this was the latest addition. Talking to the owner he said it had enhanced the perormance and he was going to do an RR test...But it was going to be a feature in the next edition of Jap performance mag and apparently they had paid for the mount in return to feature his car.
Don't know if the mag is still current but scoobyclinic did the work so you could ask them

Aye, there's a link on here about it.

I think others are waiting for a comparison with other Front Mounts (APS/Hyperflow) and with better top mounts.
