Thats the main reason for the brakes( run a small wheel). The brakes stop plenty of cars that trap over 170 mph, so Im sure I will have no problems. Dave you are right though, I cant talk/type. I suck at it. If you care that much please bring a chalk board and chalk to the shop and teach me! Remember, without people like me your car would still sit there in its stock form. ---

He needs the smaller brakes to run a 15 inch wheel for slicks, the weight reduction is just an added benefit.

The bar is like 1 lb, and it goes well with the rediculously clean engine bay. You’d be suprised the attention the clean engine bay brought at the shoot out. It was bar none the cleanest EVO/engine bay there and seeing the parts(strut bar) on the car only helps them sell. How people see the car is the same setup it goes down the track with. ---

The GC went up to 2001, which is only a year behind the WRX. If you meant modern as in brand new, then you should’ve said that. I guess DSMs count as a classic to you? ---
