Default 2.0 WRX mods

Currently driving a JDM STI 03 and love it but not all family members are in agreement, so considering going back to a WRX Wagon 2.0 blob.

Has anyone modified one to get a type of GB270 look? with good results!
The GB270 wagon has to be one of the best looking scoobs ever made, but i dont wan to go down the route of the GB270 itself.

Granted a PPP type upgrade would be a starter, anyone have any alloys advice and lower the ride height.
Any thoughts would be welcome

Cheers

It may free up some money, or maybe an estate could be better suited to their family needs. Give us some more info dude

Stig,

Happier wife!
She dreads driving it, heavy clutch, heavy steering, even though she likes it,and likes the fact I like it.
An easier car to drive would mean the car gets used more universally.
The JDM STI is truly awesome, I have had it a year and I doubt I will drive anyhting quite like it again.
I want to stay Scoob as we know them now, after having three.
