I dunno - same issue w/ my buddy. His 06 STI was 300$ more a year than his 09. Not sure what the deal is but the newer models are much cheaper. Maybe it's because they're 5-doors. Not sure.

Insurance is weird....

If I add an s2k to my plan, it only goes up like 70 dollars a month....

I have an idea of what I want to offer, but what kind of offers would you make on the below car

2002 NFR

Its an 02 with 28k miles. Its been lowered before and had rims. Fenders are already rolled ect.

Excellent KBB(only 5% of cars get this) shows 13,410, Good is 12,610.

I would be weary of rolled fenders. I haven't seen one s2k with rolled fenders that are done clean. Most if not all have ripples that can be seen in the rear. Just something to get detailed pics or info about.

Type R sway bar is at the house! Installing tonight.
What's the technique to mount the ITR bar now?

I know if you used the stock points, they were prone to ripping out. Are they still recommending you swap and flip the d-brackets? I did think on my GSR back in `00, and I'm wondering if they ever came up with a better solution.

I ordered the Beaks reinforcement kit. I'll grab the link in a sec. But it prevemts the tear out.

I used another kit a few years ago and never had a problem.

Beaks SRK

There ya go. Ive heard only good things about it.

I ordered my swaybar and beaks kit from jdmland, and could have saved 25 bucks getting it from beaks. But, I think the sway bar I got is 23mm and the one from beaks is 22mm
