What ever you decide!! do NOT change the size of your TIMING pulleys as this will throw your engine into a mental spin....

I dont know who would have told you this but they have no idea!!!!!!!

GFB powerup CRANK pulley kit is helpfull if you use it with a combination of things, e.g. lightened flywheel, etc..

The pulleys are also smaller in diameter. They are underdriven as this reduces parasitic losses.

thanks guys

yeh i didnt understand it either but he recons his mate did it on his rex and got more power sounds like a lot of shit i cant see how pullys would make much difference as the engen (or how ever you spell it) isnt weak as piss so its not realy strugaling to turn shit. probly have to direct my money to another mod then. dose anyone know what the best springs would be to get, the wrx ones are fairly decent but a bit high so i think new springs would be better than cutting them. probly looking for some adjustable springs so i can adjust them for driveways n shit.

Perhaps spend the money on spelling lessons?

Cut WRX springs will also work just as well, if not better than some coilovers on todays market. Best to get them professionally cut though. Goodness knows why more WRX's dont have cut springs but its a "mod" often seen on some of the best handling street commodores and falcon's in Perth.

Ummmm no!

Don't just cut springs, go out and get a proper set of lowering springs.
