Should I just keep stock rotors (mine are nearly new) and just get some better pads? Will different brake fluid make much of a difference? If so, which?

What do you guys think of these? http://www.rs25.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=15028&sort=1&cat=5&page=1

What's the trophy in his.... erm... her... hand?

I don't want an STI swap. If I go turbo (which I'm not sure I will.... found a good 2.5L engine on RS25 for $600) it would just be a regular NA 2.2L with a small amount of boost. Which is why I'm not so sure I'll do that. A 2.5L sounds more up my ability ally (and finances too) so that's more...

So what are the best brakes to upgrade to? Keep in mind a simple budget and an old car.

Thanks! ;D 8)

Stock ride height is good, for now. I wouldn't mind sitting a little higher, though. What should I be looking at for prices for stock WRX struts & springs? Do I need to change the top-hats?

Alright, so F&R sways. Check. Can WRX springs fit? Nobody answered that question...

While that would certainly affix a smile to my face to do, I don't want to go that route. A few reasons: 1.) It's about the journey. I want to take a normal (although old) car and make it into something that people can look at and say "wow, thought was put into this vehicle". 2.) If I go out...

Can anyone recommend me a complete bushing set, then? I would certainly like to get the running gear taken care of before tackling aesthetics. EvilAsPie, I'm not so much a show before go type of guy. I just want to have a visually appealing ride, as it keeps my urge to buy a newer car at bay...

HA HA HA... wannarex is right, on that anyhow. Especially the engine mods that guy's got! shiiiiiit! If I can get the body portion done first, then do the engine and interior later, I'd feel like progress was being made at least. I definitely want to take care of the suspension, sways and...

Pedro, thanks for the offer. I'll keep that in mind. Redline, I'd love a hand if you can provide it. I take it from your posts that you do vinyl : I might want some later on after the paint is done. Also, from your comment above... you have an OBS too? Sweet. Wanna help with mine? ;D

wow, AkinaSpeedStar, that's one hot wagon. Where do I find rear lip spoilers like that? What kind of bodykit is on that? YIKES!

wow, Nigel... you didn't paint my car in that budget... man, can I actually change-over that much crap that easily?

Redline, I'm in Brattleboro. Why, you close by? Inski21, my tranny has a syncro that's slipping (2nd gear). But it only seems to do it when I've been driving for a bit, like the fluid is too slippery or hot or something. Thoughts? I'd like to fix it instead of replacing stuff.... put money...

HA HA.... no I'll stick with my Scoob. thx tho!

inski21, what should I be looking to spend for a 2.5 engine? Also, will most of my 2.2L parts bolt up to it? What about my flywheel/clutch/etc... obviously, I'd have to change over my headers....

Thanks for the feedback so far. Few things: 1.) I can't seem to find a 2.5L engine that is in decent shape to swap over. I'll keep my eyes out though. 2.) I've begun looking for the RS Hood and Bumper. Wondering how straight-forward swapping the beam is.... 3.) I'm not opposed to any...

Hi Everyone, I'm new here. I just bought a 96 OBS. The body is in alright shape, it's a 5spd with the standard 2.2L engine. Engine runs alright, but it's nearly got 200k on the clock. It's got your usual issues (leaks, squeels, groans) but nothing major. No idea when the timing belt was last...
