Default speedo issue what clocks for a 93/94

I have a 93/94 wrx import. Who ever imported it didn’t put a speedo cable converter on it they changed the clock plate so my speedo only goes up to 120mph and the speed limiter kicks in about 112mph if I was to change the clock face and put a speedo converter on the cable so as to remove the speed limiter what should the clock be ie max speed should it be 160 or 180

Ditto, mine's a '95.

you can get the dials that read upto 180m/ph rather then k/ph off ebay, like lockwood ones etc, but i havent got any idea where you would get the converter or derestricter from to swap onto the new dials. you would need it testing too mate to see how accurate it was, so the dials werent massivley out in speed terms.
