New Sway bar kit and Cobb Accessport!

Last night I picked myself up a Agency-Power sway bar kit. The kit includes front and rear 22MM sway bars, bushings, rear mounts, front and rear end links, and all the bolts, nuts, and washers your heart could desire. The stock sway bars are 19MM and the stock end links are weak and I've managed to bend one of them so these new beefy ones will do the job! When I ran over to Ill-Tech Auto in Tacoma, WA to pick up the kit they just happened to have a Cobb AccessPort for a '07 STi sitting right in front of me so like a kid in a candy story my eyes lite up and I started drooling. I ended up walking away with the Cobb Accessport and the Sway bar kit.

After I got home I dug everything out of the boxes and looked at it then I ran to the car to get a stage 1 tune on it. I flashed the car and on start up it didn't want to kick over but this is typical whenever your ECU is reset. After a few seconds it fired up and you could hear a more pronounced boxer sound. The car is much more responsive and it does exactly what I tell it to do. I am fairly certain my turbo is shot so I was running little to no boost however running with no boost the car definitely felt faster. I can't wait to get my turbo replaced and see what she is capable of!
