get front caliper brackets off a wrx, front rotors off wrx. they are larger dimeter. also get rear caliper brackets off a legacy outback and rear rotors off a legacy outback. also larger diameter.

and welcome to RS club!

Welcome!

I think a lot of people will tell you that P1's are the best spring, but they won't lower the car a ridiculous amount.

o and kyb and agx is not 2 different things they are actually the same. KYB AGX is a brand and model of a very nice adjustable strut for the money. and i would recommend some eibach springs if you wanna go low...

h&r will lower it more then eibachs. my eibachs did hardly anything.

Before you buy an type of suspension, you have to ask yourself "What are my plans for this car?". Once you figure that out and the budget you are willing to spend on a complete suspension (meaning everything besides struts/springs or coilovers), then it would be easier to help you.

As for brakes, check the sticky at the top of this section by me. IF you have any questions about it, feel free to PM me and I will respond once I have a minute.

I just trying to save you money in the long run, that's all. Not everyone is okay with coilovers for a street machine so you might just want to look into struts/springs.

My recommendation depending on your budget would be Koni Inserts and Tarmac springs.

does the tarmac springs give it a good drop..! or stiffin it up with little to no drop..! i honestly would like a spring with a good drop..! like i was sayin similar to the cobb

Describe a "good" drop.

The Tarmac springs lower your car to around (F/R: 14.375"/13.370", measured from hub center to fender). The Koni and Tarmac setup rides extremely nice for a daily driver/spirited driving type setup...when it is pushed, it responses very well.
