I just don't see it as a good mod for a daily driver, unless it's also a track car or serious autocross tool, like my RS. Other than my spring rates, my car makes more compromises on the street than at the track. I figured Scott wants his car the other way around. That's why I didn't mention springs, strut tops, bushings besides steeering rack, strut braces, harnesses, steel brakelines, etc. etc.

And how is being prettier better than being faster?
Bah only if you suck at driving. I drove in snow with no problems and have never had to start in 2nd gear. An AWD car with snow tires won't ever problems starting in the snow on a hill if you can drive well. An Exedy clutch is barely stiffer than stock if any. Springs and top mounts will stiffen a car but the Impreza is soft from the factory IMHO. You can have a sitffer ride without it being uncomfortable.

Prettier gets more ladies. Girlies > cars

The airbag in the seats isn't a problem. It's not like it might go off at worst it's dead wieght. The color of course might be, especially with the blue in WRX seats.
