Have you already got a Back box? I fitted a Blitz BB which made loads more of a difference than decatting the centre section...

I'd get Eibach springs (+ a mate to fit or DIY) = ??£200
Geometry allignment = £120 (Get P1 spec - makes a big difference)

Still leaves £180 for new dampers/exhaust centre section (they show up S/H for around £60) or a BB...

Yes!! My 03WRX was on standard settings. You could feel the back end tugging on bends when pressing on a bit. Now it's a lot better - only downside it that the car follows camber changes a little bit easier - a la STI

Do that. It will feel like a different car. Handling & balance is better than outright speed anyday. What about an ARB too?

Have you considered Powerstation? Cracking service from guys who really know what they are doing (they set up the type 25's)
