    When should I swap my struts?

    My friend is selling me his wrx struts and Tein lowering springs. I want to install them this weekend, but I might have my alignment done at my college (130 miles away). Should I install the struts and drive the car back to school, or should I put them on at my friends house off campus?

    I would just wait and do it all at once. It will ride like crap.

    A little bit of Wrx, a little bit of 2.5RS, a little bit of STi, a LOT of SVX!

    Will I ever supercharge this Eg33???

    I would wait as well. You could always mark the camber bolts and try to get them back in right but they'll never be 100% until you get it aligned.

    You can do it, just mark the camber bolts and be sure to get an alignment ASAP.
