You just need a pad set and the assorted clips and such, and if the caliper doesn't come with the cross pins you will need those as well.

I bought my remans and simply went to Subaru and bought everything else that wasn't included, but as said you can upgrade your pads if you so wish, could also upgrade your rotors too.

stock bolts and lines work, but remember to buy new copper crush washers for the lines if you aren't upgrading.

Copy that. So... Best bet is sort all miscellaneous by Dealerships and calipers on rockauto (until dealerships sell them at fair price)

Did a brake fluid flush with stoptech 600 dot 4 fluid, and did the camber bolt alignment trick. Unfortunately only got -1.5 LF / -1.9 RF camber.

Did you move the smaller stock bolt into the other hole? I haven't done this, but that's apparently how you get a bit more afaik.

20% ceramic tint all around (sans windshield). Did the clear side markers a few days ago.

I’ve never been a huge fan of the “blackout” look with dark tint and black wheels, but on this color the contrast is quite nice. I picked up some satin black Apex ARC-8s that will eventually go on as well, although really liking the stock wheels at the moment.

Installed underglow from Low glow + Circuit demon headlights and fixed a ball bearing in one of the bags

Took me about 4hrs or so. I think if I were to do it again I could probably do it in 2-3, was a bit of a learning curve as this was my first time doing coilovers (although I’ve previously done some other suspension work on my GTI). First impressions after the drive home: very happy with the ride quality and noise. On nearly full soft (like 2/24 clicks) it honestly feels like stock. I’m not getting any unwanted noise either despite the solid metal front and rear mounts. Excited to try them on track in a few weeks. Still have to dial height in a little. I forgot to measure but it’s definitely about an 1” lower than stock at the moment.

Change the door insert, looks good, easily returned to stock, not sure I like the dash, will replace with black if I'm not feeling it in a week.

WOW that looks really good. I'd do the upper door panel and cluster bezel as well, ALL the alcantara!

Thought that was a GD STI for a second! Looks great!

Love it, looks great, how did you do the dash/glovebox area? Is it glued on?

Pat · 08-23-2022, 09:57 AM

Huh. I kinda like it. Didn't think I would. The color match is excellent. Interesting. So often projects like this start with good intentions but fail when it comes to execution. This one looks great, though.
