Hi folks!
PPP has now been fitted and is pure magic....so much better than I thought!
Anyway, the car will now need better brakes and suspension to cope and so I need some advice about what works best and how much it costs etc. For your information, the car is a 4-door, standard apart from PPP, with 16" wheels....is it worth going to 17" wheels too....?
Cheers
DBM

You intend to upgrade your brake pads or including disc and caliper? Suspension wise, height adjustable or what. What budget? with these info its much easier to recommand.

Almost a *dumb-**** question

Scoobysport Brembo/APs & Leda B

It's enough to make PTMW! more than a match for WRX, STi, RB5, P1, 22B & a lot more besides

No need for 17s (asthetics??)

Well, works for me

Excuse my dumb-*** question, but I thought it intelligent to learn from the experience of those who have gone before me!!
Do Scooby Sport fit the entire package....?

i had prodrive suspension on my old my00. it lowers the car , looks good. enabled me to corner a bit quicker too. ride sometimes felt a little 'fidgety', maybe due to 17" wheels, i dunno.potholes were my worst nightmare
did i think it was worth 1.5k? no. maybe if i did trackdays etc, maybe i would have thought differently. the one thing i wish i HAD done was get stronger brakes. never experienced the prodrive upgrade, but if its good, it would be the first thing i'd do to a scooby. i also had ppp too, good innit

Please notice the winkie ( )

Scoobysport supply both the Brembo/AP kit & the Leda B ( )

I currently have both fitted to PTMW! & with such an equipped car, find that the aforementioned versions of Impreza are "easy meat" on track ( ). Not sure what your long-term aims are but the SS (Scoobysport) stuff is well suited to the "full works" spec you requested. The brake package in itself is awesome & allowed me to recently do a 45 min non-stop session on track with full confidence (& I don't drive like a ***** ). Leda, whilst seemingly a bit harsher whilst slow, is in fact a better set up for fast A-B type driving. On track is excellent as you just dial-up the settings & go play Mind you - best part of £3K new but they are "the works"

As we are currently going the Scoobysport Leda and Brembo/AP route on our MY01's, and while you are busy having WW3 with Puff hehe ( ) - note smilies - just to clarify your question - SS do supply the whole package but the Leda suspension is fitted at Leda (in Braintree, just down the road) and includes a full set-up and alignment.
