In the debate between top mounts and front mounts, I always lean towards top mounts. The exception is for drag intended cars, or cars with giant turbos... which are drag cars. If you autocross, open track, or like to hit the backroads, I'd stick with a top mount. The US STi is a great upgrade. All bolt-on except for needing a support bracket fabbed, which is simple enough.
Is your recommendation due to the damage that happens to FMIC being so close to the ground? Can't that be solved with a screen?

The reason I ask, Is that by the time I buy the TMIC, Air splitter and Larger scoop - painting, I am getting really close to the cost of the FMIC.

What do you think?
