Welcome! If you get some WRX wagon take off suspension you can upgrade and drop at the same time.

I removed the fog lights this morning. I like it a lot better now but I'm sure ill regret it when I'm lost and I can't see where the road is through the tinted windshield

I picked up a complete sedan setup with eibach springs for $50 off a buddy. Rear struts are blown so I'm going to replace the rears with wagon struts and either run my factory wrx wagon springs in the rear (equal out the saggy butt) or play it by ear when I start putting it all together. I've read that handling wise there isn't much difference with running stocks in the rear and lowering in the front until you get into autoX and hard corners

Tinted windshield? Not sure about America, but its illegal here in Canada. Looks nice though!

Welcome to SLi! Not bad, I never understood windshield tinting. Do you have a CRX too?

I had a 89 HF 1500, it wasn't anything special but was fun. And from what I seen around here it was pretty clean. I wish I never sold it.
