Yes, Megans are not built to last at all. I purchased Megans for my 02 WRX and the things went out on me a little past the warranty deadline (go figure). Plus i have been reading a lot of bad reviews on Megans for X's.

So from personal experience and reviews its a no brainer for me not to go that route again.

I don't like Megan's at all. I would just buy some Eibach springs over getting some cheap coilovers. A set of quality springs will make the car look good, help with any body roll, and is almost a fourth of the cost of cheaper coils.. All while having A more comfortable ride.

I just got my WW GSR w/ SS + LED package. Thought about ordering one with leather also, but got a good deal on this one that was on the lot with no wait. Pretty lucky on this one for me.

you already bought an evo so might as well buy ohlins or some premium suspension from hks or tein. you wouldn't want to put rota's on your baby too. go with volk or some other premium wheels. i'm not loaded but i'm saving up for premium parts mainly because i don't want to put any cheap stuff on mine. but then again, it's just me.

Hows the LED package look? Where are the lights located?

I used to want the Volk TE37 but have grown to like the Rotas P45R more over the last year...and the price difference is stupid lol I cant justify that...not yet at least

[QUOTE=ogrenator;9913627]Hows the LED package look? Where are the lights located?

Basically the entire floorboard area is lit with blue LED lights (driver and passenger sides), and all of the other normal interior lights are swapped for white LED lights (near rear view + dome lights). Looks very bright and very cool at night IMO. I'll try to take some pictures and post them up for everyone tonight. Just got the car yesterday and spent all last night playing with things and driving around, so I plan to snap some pics tonight.

Wow it takes that long to order in the '12s?

Guess I'll have to put money down sooner than I thought! Congratulations on your order!

no it doesnt but I figured I might as well throw the money down and let them sit on the order until it needs to actually be put in production.. I just wont be ready to make the purchase until late May early June. They said it was three months...my dealers order date is the 13th of every month so I think its 3 months from that date is how long it takes....I would just go talk to the sales manager at the dealer you wanna deal with.

I know my immediate list includes the following:
RA mudflaps
WeatherTech floor mats
Clearbra

Some items I would like before year's end:
Exhaust
Intake
Tune
Exactly what I did with my car. I got the Ventureshield at the dealership and weathertech mats and RA flaps from MAP. The detail guy put some armor all of something on the floor mats for some reason and that is a safety hazard.

Congrats to the OP for the purchase! Any details on price paid? PM if you want. Just wondering if I got a good deal on my 11, but really wanted to get a 12 since it might be the last year.

Good luck. I refuse to pay more than invoice (which they happened to quote me on) for the car because it's not like it's sitting on their lot when it comes in. I give it a week max before mine comes in, and when I'll be driving off that lot. I'm shooting for a little more than dealer invoice though

Ah, I see. I'm in the same boat. I'll have enough saved for the down payment around May or June

Hey I received my Evo x last June. I advise you not to open up the good till at least 10000miles. But you can start buying the stuff from now. The 1st thing I should do after the 10000 miles is to change ur stock exhaust coz its horrible and I mean by changing the full system from down pipe to cat exhaust. With the new exhaust u should change ur stock air filter too. Changing these 2 will add an extra 30 bhp. After that u can Do a remap on ur original ecu. That's Wat I did and it's amazing. My Evo has around 390 bhp now after these changes. As for the exterior the 1st thing u should buy is the vortex generator and the others depend on ur taste. Enjoy it to the max!!
