I bought my braided hoses from Goodridge - just specified P1 and they were delivered a few days later. The only problem was that the garage had to ream out the hole in the bracket that they pass through.

Nozzer M8. Should be absolutely no probs (except maybe the one from FB). Another way of sorting this prob is to cut the bracket with a hack saw, bend it so the hose fits through, then bend it back. For anyone reading this and thinks it's a horrible bodge, this bracket's only purpose in life is to locate the hose and stop it flapping around. Even easier, run a strap-tie through the braket and fixed the hose in place that way.

If you're upgrading brakes at the same time, I would leave the protection back plate in place (some people remove it completely, to aid cooling). If your discs are bigger, just bend the backing plate back a cm or two. A hammer is exactly the right tool!

This protects the disc of course, and it also shields the track-rod end joint from excessive heat.

As good as they are, all Goodridge need the struts lightly modifying on all Impreza's. Not a big deal... and well worth swapping!

Or, speak to Pete C @ ScoobySport. Goodridge supply hoses to him with special strut clips for the hoses.
