WRX - LX Swap

i am plannign on doing the WRX brake swap into my 95 LX. i have read many threads on this but they are scattered all over the boards so they are hard to locate.

i just want to run this by you

Parts:
WRX Calipers
WRX Caliper Mounting Brackets
WRX Rotors
WRX Wheels or 16" equivalent

Thoughts:

1.) How much will this increase my stopping power?

2.) Will my Master Cylinder hold up to this? (my buddy did a 300zx brake swap onto his 240. all went well tell one day he was trying to stop, and his master cylinder exploded and he flew into an intersection) i dotn want this to happen to me.

3.) other concerns....

Thanks

For the fronts, yes, that's all you need along with pads.Make sure you know the EXACT production date of the calipers you get if they are '03s. No worries about your MC. It won't affect it.
