No, i think he referred the poster quote of more suspension changes such as bushings for 2011 vs the 2010. Part numbers on those bushings for 2011 and 2010 are the same.

Makes sense, thanks for the clarification. I guess for a daily driver these suspension mods and LSD wouldn't make much of a difference anyways. I guess if I were to choose between a 2010 vs. 2011, for daily driving purposes, I might just lean towards 2010, seeing as how it's also cheaper.

Thoughts?

Completely agreed. If you plan to track the car and want to be capable of going faster, then 2011 or later is better. For daily driving, it's not something you're going to notice until you push the car hard. It's generally not a good idea to push the car that hard on a public road for a lot of reasons.

Looks great! I have the same wheels on my 11' sgm and I get compliments on them almost daily. Any plans for the car?

Thanks for the love guys.

No major modification plans for right now. I just sold a pretty heavily modded Subaru Legacy Spec B. Want to just enjoy this in it's stock form for a little bit - but I am thinking that a rear diffuser, front lip and coilovers will be in my relatively near future.. No power mods planned - as I want to keep the powertrain warranty intact for a while.
