Hi all.

I am extremely bored at work and discussion on the forum is kind of slow...

Anyways...

Scenario: If you had a white '97 L coupe with several mods... oh, I don't know... say...

Ebay Intake
JGT500 exhaust
Rota Subzero wheels
CF hood
lightweight pulley
2.5RS front, WRX rear brakes

and a limited budget of say $1000.

What would you do next?

Have fun.

jeff has a really cheap LGT set up. Not sure how they work with your car but it's a very nice set up.

I think it is sold already, but it should work for the rear just fine. I think just take the rotors and calipers and bolt those babies on and they are good to go.

You let me know when you find someone that does the swap for less than a grand. Even... easier... let me know when you find a drivetrain for less than a grand.

Sad but probably true. I already have 2.5RS fronts. I would probably only need rotors/pads/WRX brackets.

Looked at those... for a few more bucks... you could go with the BC's and have them be rebuildable.
