Default 1995 st5 ra upgrades

Hi guys,

What would be my upgrade options for the following wheel sizes?

15s - groove disks and pads?

16s/17s 4 pots from a newer impreza?


What brakes does my car have as std (till I can get under the car and look!)

thank you

IMHO:
You have the poor brakes of the Impreza range.
For good effect:
Sti 16'' wheels with My 97 onward 4 pots and good (expensive) pads fitted.
All bolt-on and OEM quality. Nice bill for about £400 and easy to get second hand.
Talk to Alyn at AS Performance.
Max effect?
17 rims and AP calipers and a bill for £1600+

For what it is worth I race my Sti v3 on 16's/4 pots and pads.
But AP's would be better!

Graham.

If you are going to change rims go for 17's with a minimum of upgrade to 4 pots, that way you will stop and get the handling benefits.
