k..what do i need to put the Brembos? what is needed and what do i need to buy besided the calipers and disc? do i need to change the axles to? and how much am i looking at?

Also have an extra blitz nur spec R laying around would it fit?

also what to lower it,what springs do you recommend,i like mine real low hahah

 

Front... I don't think anything. Rear... rear is a drum... you'll need to do a drum to disc conversion and maybe a special bracket for the Brembo rears.

As for your exhaust... it won't fit, but you could make it fit...

Really low? Not good for the car.

 

You'll need everything from the knuckle out I believe.

This answer could be solved very clearly and very quickly with one phone call. Call LIC or GST.

 

Really not good for a subaru. Completely changes the geometry. But if all you care about is looks then whatever.

I think Tanabe makes the springs that drop the most or you could get coil overs and drop them all the way down. Me personally... I'd pick up the suspension of a wrx and run those struts with a decent springs. Swift. Crucial. Etc. Nothing with a huge drop.

 

Read up on RS25.com . Tons of GC info on there. I-club is mostly 02+ Imprezas.

 

well enought to clear the tire gap...i had Perrin Lowering springs. so the brembos in the front are slip on pretty much? how much am i looking at?

 

Upgrading just the front is not a good idea.

A full set of brembo takes off can very quite a bit. I'd plan on spending at least $1500 from beginning to end.

Another idea is to get WRX take offs. Cheaper and will be plenty of brake for the lighter L... even with the added power of a wrx/sti swap unless you're building a track only car of course.

 

for brembos are you planning on using 5x114 or 5x100?

 

so im looking at to spend about 1500?

 

and you'd like Brembos for a 100hp car why again?

 

That was my point...

I think a good upgrade is the wrx take offs. I'm hoping that he's planning to do a swap in the car... and in that case I'd just buy a wrecked STI and stick it under the L.

 

oh well im planning to swap eventually, but starting with a new "Shoe set up" Just want to start with brembos and some BBS's eventually. Not trying to stir anything up.

 

when you say wrx take offs do u mean wrx calipers? hahaha sorry im a noob

 

I think he means 06 and up break set up? correct me if im wrong..

 

DatSti.... not stirring anything up. People are just curious. Joltdude has an extensive amount of experience with GC's.

If you're planning a swap my advice would be to save up and find yourself a wrecked wrx or wrecked sti. Then you can get everything you need at once. It's a LOT to piece together.

If you want to start with some simple mods, wheels, springs and sway bars would be a good place to start. I wouldn't bother with brakes until you do the swap.

subbiedood. By take offs I mean basically the entire unit. Rotors, calipers, etc. Sometimes you can find them with basically the entire unit. If you search it on RS25.com you'll find an entire write up on the process.
