Default Rear Drum Conversion

Dear All
Last 2 weeks was very nice as I was able to do my first tuning activities to my car, I have a Subaru Impreza 2005 1.6TS and this is the list of the tuning I just did till now.
1- 16” Alloy wheels instead of 14” steal
2- 205/50 W rated tires instead of 185/70 H rated
3- Change the rear brakes from Drums to Solid Discs
4- Install Anti Roll Bar in the rear my car come with a rear anti roll bar
5- Install a rear spoiler

Here is how I changed the rear brakes from drums to solid with photos First you buy these components
- PAD Kit
- Disk Brake Kit include (Disc, Calibers)
- Brakeshoe for the handbrakes
- Brake Line for the ABS version
- Brake wire for the Hand brakes
- Rear Brake plate and Bearings

Remove the drums

Remove the rear Hub

Install the new components

The final look


I also got my rear anti roll bar from WhiteLine and the feeling in the corners are overwhelming the car is really much more stable and much more secure around the corners. I feel that the antiroll bar is helping the AWD system to work much better I can easily now take curves with a lot less car roll and feel the AWD system kick in and adjust the car. I am really glad that I installed this part and I recommend it for everyone. Because the car is not supporting antiroll bar from the factory this is how i installed it

The final look

Well done, and welcome to SNet

[tongue in cheek] Next job, stop spending money on the bottom model and put it towards a proper Scoob [/tongue in cheek]

Default i really hoped so

I really hoped so but this is impossible becasue of the taxs we have 40% taxs on the cars less than 1.6 liter and 175% on the bigger engines. so to get a proper scoob that would cost me something like the price of 3-4 cars.

my next plan is to swap to a bigger engine any one can help?
