Yeah.....93 Impreza to the WRX wheels. Looks awesome, and now I have the upgrade spirit. I'm looking to do brakes and suspension now, cause the brakes just ain't gonna cut it on those.

Ideas/links/costs?

Any help is appreciated....^_^

You can do a very basic L to RS brake swap or L to WRX brake swap, only things that will fit under the wrx wheels, the new racing brake 4 pots do fit though.

all depends on how much you want to spend.

As little as possible, as stupid as that sounds. I'm on a tight budget, but I know it's worth the $ on brakes.

Any links by chance?

Thanks

Rotors, calipers, caliper brackets, and pads? How much shipped to 33773? And I think I'm going with the front only for now...too much hassle for the back conversion at the moment....

^If that's not everything I'd need, minus tools, let me know first....wanna make sure I can get what you don't have first....=P

Thanks

Still interested cause pads you can just buy at autozone or whatnot....have to find RS Calipers tho.....Know anywhere to find them?

Also...what size rotors are they so I know what size calipers to get? *doesn't know that much about brakes...yet....*

Also, will they clear the 16" WRX rims cause I was looking on mastrowrx.com....basically site from the dealer down here and came across this....

http://www.mastrowrx.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=21

Says on there not to use this with 16 wrx stocks...must use 17s or the 98-01 rs....

those brakes that you have linked are 4 pots. these are just stock rs which are smaller. but yes they do clear stock wrx wheels, i have the wrx wheels on my car right now. they are fine. im not sure where to get calipers either, kyle

rear disc conversion is a lot of fun;) you'll be happy with rears and a nice big fat juicy sway bar too;)

I have '00 RS front calipers for sale, if you're interested. :)

Best offer on them. They were formerly on North Ursalia's car (he's from NESIC). Rebuilt not that long before he took them off, to use STi 4-pots. He's the fella that runs these sites:

www.subaruwrxparts.com (business)

As long as they go on the above mentioned rotors/brackets and are cheaper than another offer i got on wrx rotos/calipers/brackets, i might just go for them....

Thanks

Chris

Well what offer did you get? I'm going with best offer, no set price right now.

I'm using USPS, either Parcel Post or Priority. I usually ship whatever's cheapest, unless the buyer cares.

I just shipped out my brackets for $11, Priority. These, I'd imagine, will be at least $15....
I shipped RS-sized brake rotors last year and it was $20-25, so.... yeah probably $15ish.
