WRX Brake Calipers
I have 2001 EU spec Forester S Turbo ,
I want to upgrade my brake system to wrx brake system and I just want to change the original S Turbo brake calipers with 2004 wrx brake calipers , is that possible , are there any other things that might change with the calipers or just caliper change is enough for improving the 2001 Forester S Turbo brake distance...

First and foremost...brakes don't stop you...tires stop you.
Get a sticky set of tires, improve your stopping distance.
Brake pads will also make a difference. Get something which has good initial bite, and fade-resistant qualities. I recommend the Carbotech Bobcat pads, but there are also Hawk pads, Axxis pads, among others.
I also recommend asking this on www.subaruforester.org where they have international members who can answer this for you.
