ive been looking into some suspension mods. Mostly stuff that wont void my warranty. STI springs and some sway bars. Im also looking at some Rota rims that a kid is selling from toledo. Id love to do some power mods esp Engine management but dealers are now able to detect EM on 05+ models :( Only real power mod I have the option for is the SPT catback exhaust which is made by bosal.

I live in Kenton (an hour northwest of Columbus) and i go to school at Miami in Oxford.

yeah, warranty's a b***h to work around. i waited for about 20k on my car before i started modding.. my friend's going to do the same with his rex. i remember asking a suby sales guy if suspension mods would mess up the warranty, even if they were STi parts.. he actually said YES with a straight face.

anyway awesome car man... enjoy it!

wow i cant believe the dealer said that..hmm maybe i should check it out with my dealer then. When i bought the car though, the dealer gave me an accessory pack and im sure it had those suspension mods listed under the accessory pack. Who knows with dealers now a days...ill just call him up and ask him tomarrow.
I love evos too, looked around for a used one but no luck. What mods do you have on your evo?

yeah i could understand if suspension mods (including STi parts) voided your suspension warranty--but other than that, i wouldn't take what he said too seriously. just find a cooler service dept if you need it for anything. 8) gold or black rims would look pimp on your ride . which rota rims are you considering?

as for my evo, i have helix downpipe, perrin cat delete, greddy titanium catback... but these parts are going to be replaced in a week or so... hks downpipe, helix cat delete, hks 30th anniv catback... smaller piping, so i dunno how much peak hp i'll lose... "supposedly" i should have a better low end, but who knows. :roll: also have a hallman pro rx MBC but it hasn't been set... will probably do it after i get my new exhaust on... 20-21psi or so. i'll also be installing my new FMIC in a week or so.. it's in transit so who knows

one of my best friends dad's is a mechanic at subaru, he said pretty much if you touch anything on the car, the warranty is as good as a warranty on a 1983 dodge colt. LOL goodl uck with it wrx's are fun(I dont really like wrx's, they are wayy overratted)

yea ive heard what ur dads friend is saying.My friend who has a stage 2.5 wrx (turbo upgrade) had his work done at a dealership. So i think im gonna go there for my oil changes and such since they are free. He seemed to have a good deal with them. im not gonna say they name of the dealership cause i dont want to get them in trouble but they were VERY understandable. I guess it just depends onthe dealership you go to. The dealer that my friend went to actuallyn recommended the cobb accesport which would void the warranty but is undectable in 04 and lower models but i have an 05 so im not sure what he will say. Ill find out tomarrow. Im not in a hurry to put power into my wrx because it already has sooo much more than my civic. I think im just gonna do suspension mods that wont affect the warranty. According to the US law dealerships cannot deny warranty work to parts of the car that are untouched. Id rather my suspension be messed up rather than my engine so it is covered by the warranty. Sorry if this doesnt make sense, im on my friends comp with 5 vodka shots and 3 beeears in me.
