Just Bought A Swapped 95 Impreza wagon
Hello Everyone I'm a new member here.
I'm excited to announce that I just bought myself a 95 Ipmreza wagon last week.
The guy that sold it to me, swapped a 2003 WRX engine into it. Supposedly all suspension parts were also swapped. but unfortunately it feels like a sloppy Hundyai elentra with 220K miles on it when going more than two mph over the posted speed limit.
My goals are to have a car thats suitable for street driving but also the very occasional auto-x / track. I don't particularly care about looks or lowering anything.
So with that in mind here's a list of MODS that I'm definately getting.
22mm/20mm Whiteline front/rear sway bars with upgraded
P11 Prodrive springs--courtesy of 2POT
Koni or KY AGX shocks
Whiteline Front Tophats / Group N rear Tophats
Group N bushings kit
Ebay Front and rear Sway tower bar
Fender Cowl Brace
under carraige H-brace
I know the are not something thats typical, originally I was going to go for something like Whiteline or Kartboy, but Proforged seems to me like it would give a better result for less money.
Some options I was considering:
Whiteline adjustable rear lateral Links
gtspec anti lift kit does anyone know if the Grp N kit above is caster neutral? If so then maybe I don't need this?
What do you guys think?
Is this a good setup for my goals? Am I missing anything? Is there anything here that I should stay away from?

setup seems pretty bang on to me..
20/22 arbs seem pretty good for your goals, i'm going for hardrace lateral and trailing arms on mine with hardened rubber (undecided whether to go for adjustable ones yet).
I'd look at roll centre correction/anti lift kits before H bracing/fender braces etc
