This is true. Best option is to replace with the real thing

I'm leaning towards gold then paint the calipers red I like the red and gold look black is nice but hard to really see the wheels design so it between silver and gold I think also what do you guys think for clutch stock with resurfaced flywheel or clutch masters stage one with resurfaced flywheel...

I posted in the classifieds but I figured I'd post here too. Does anybody have a stock '10 grill?

I want to know if the subaru branded 4 pot red calipers would bolt up to our car? Not to expensive, might be a better alternative. There made for the older wrx's |

My question is, how difficult is it to convert + install those on the 08s that got shafted with frickin drums in the rear?

As for the 06/07 4/2 pots, the fronts will bolt up if you have the wrx brake caliper brackets and I don't remember if the front Wrx rotors will work either. The rear calipers will require a bracket from knsbrakes/kartboy for sure and again I'm unsure about the rotors (this is if you already have disc brakes in the rear). Theirs a few threads on here ill link to when I get a chance. |

mmmm just a little nothing that i was not expecting with this exhaust but she purrrrrs really nice when i start her up in the cold then gets quiet, when i step on the gas and it shifts you hear the exhaust really, i like the sound and it's better than stock and gives it a nice look, i think thanks bro, i was hoping to get a little bit of the look with out the price tag, now i just wish i could find someone to swap trunks with, i don't like the little wing in the back. Thanks bro, i appreciate it. Got this done locally and found this crappy cell phone pic from the interior of my car, had all the plastic pieces dipped |

For our cars though, without the HP, its pointless. Given the minimal weight difference between the wrx and sti they show similar 60-0 stopping in a straight line. That's all I care about. That said, if I had brembos I would put them on a Toyota Prius haha. As for the 4/2 pots, I didn't know you needed a bracket for the fronts, I was under the impression that 08 wrx 4 pots would bolt up. Just figured we had a beefier setup than the 06/07's |

We have the same brakes as all 08+Wrx minus the front rotor size difference (assuming you have discs all around). The fronts on the Wrx/2.5i are 2pot and rears are single pot setup. 06/07 Wrx have the 4/2pot setup, thus the physical and visual difference. |

I'll have to do some more research into the 4 pot conversion for the 08+ 2.5i's. |

They still have 11.6" rotors where the stock 2.5i rotors are 10.x" something. But everything else you stated is correct

Alright fellas, what's the best tire to go with? I'm going with with OZ Ultralegarra 17x8 wheels. I was thinking about getting Michelin super sport tires. Thanks for your opinions.
