Just curious what's making you think of ditching the EVO for the STI?

The UTEC for the Evo was recently released or you could also run the AEM EMS as well.

here are my reasons:

1) i love subaru. i have owned a wrx before and i just loved that car.

2) i drive my car a lot on the city of Boston and it does get tiring after a while due to the stiff suspension.

3) i love the STI and even though it does not handle as good as my EVO, i stil think that it is an amazing machine.

4) i would like to try something differnet.

5) i don't plan on modding the engine at all so it really doesn't matter to me which car is better as far as mods go. i love suspension and i am good at that with the WRX.

6) i love subaru

7) i need a little more comfort.

They have a really good reputation and I was just down at thier shop today ordering a Stage 1 Kit.
Wow!! that stage 2 is sick!! just out of curiosity...are all those prices cumulative of teh packages before it? for instance Stage 1Signature is $2450 but i'm assuming that price includes everything that comes in stage 0 to that point. if so, that is a great deal, considering Vishnu's reputation for quality and reliability.

Dude...i love the STi too...it is definitely more comfortable as a daily driver...if i was to keep the STi stock i would most likely keep it but since i'm not i guess i will be coming over to the darkside(according to subie fans)...btw i love your sig...Boodock Saints is one of my favorite indie films.

Yeah that includes everything. You can also do the step by step. They have a lot of stuff for STI's too if you end up keeping yours.

oh yeah, here in Chicago if you do get the EVO, visit AMS http://www.automotosports.com/ they are located in Arlington Heights. (they had a 550whp EVO, I dunno if they still have it, but if they do, you can ask for a ride.......)
