15's onto 95 wrx??
Would 15 inch wheels fit ok onto a 95 wrx? also if i were to move down to 15's from 16's would it make much difference to the ride?

I have them on mine, with 205/55 section tyres. Similar contact area as the 16" and if you get ultra light ones you're helping the suspension movement as there is less unsprung weight. The only disadvantage that I can thing of is a hessitation on turn-in due to the taller tyre profile, but this obviously helps the ride comfort.

15s will fit although only if you have the standard 2 pot brakes.

The brakes should be 2 pots and the disks should be 280mm in dia. If this is the case 15"s should be fine.

Well... It's not
that cool.... I have them on mine, and it's nicer to actually be
able to stop.

One of the first things I did when I had my Classic was to rip off the crappy, non stopping 2 pots, I opted (at the time) for Hi-Spec monster 4's.
I would really suggest, having 16" alloys and changing your setup for the 4 pot Subaru brake kit, as you will be a lot safer for stopping + there isn't much difference between the 15 and 16's .
Hope this helps.

Ive found my '2 pots' to be fantastic, not had any probs in stopping even from high speeds.
