Time to do some work on my SVX
Here is the list of what I have to do.
1) Replace RH front CV-shaft for the second time (first replacement leaked grease) DONE 2) Replace LH front CV-shaft (boot is ripped) waiting for parts 3) Replace shifter retainer clip and bushing (my bad shifted to hard and busted it) 4) Install Group n motor mounts 5) Install Group n pitch stopper 6) Do 15 minute $15 mod 7) Clean MAF and filter 8) Remove crappy aftermarket head light wiring harness and rewire MSD Box 9) find out why my Left front speakers are not working (Hope a wire came unplugged) 10) Try to figure out why my car runs rich. (An one have any ideas on this one?) I think that's it for now. off to start on it.

regarding the group N mounts... I REALLY don't suggest you use the imprezza brackets... Use the stock brackets with a 1/4" spacer

If I recall correctly, Walker branded parts are made by Denso. That is good news for sure!

i have a question about replacing the o2 sensors. i read somewhere that you have to modify them somehow and that they dont just go in without doing anything. can someone elaborate on this or do the sensors go in with no messing around?

the sensors posted above will plug right in. If you buy universal sensors you will have to splice in the wires to be able to plug them in.
