[Braided brake lines for V7 brembos into V3 type r]

I ordered gc8 braided line set when putting brembos in my gc8 and they worked perfectly fine.

Mint I'll hit up Racetech when they open on Tuesday for some GC ones then

An option for the rears would be to try to get the r160 nz new wrx hubs that came with 2 pots. DBA then do a rear disc that suits the brembo rears without doing anything dodgy to the handbrake.

I believe (although this is by searching so who knows....) that with the weird v3 hubs (r180 single pots), all I would need would be 

1. Dogbone adaptor to fit calipers

2. Some DBA brake discs (supposedly DBA 2657 is the one that works with the handbrake) or some larger shoes to use the bigger rotors. Unsure which is cheaper atm lol as apparently both work?

Hey team wanting to confirm before ordering, what are the appropriate brake lines to get for a brembo conversion into a V3 type r? My searching apparently says run V7 lines but I'm unsure if a) that's correct and b) if they will screw into the V3 hardline?

 

Will also be going through the `fun` of trying to find adaptors for the rear cos I have single pots. Any NZ recommendations that pass cert or is it better ordering from Torque solutions or the like?

Figured it wasn't too bad considering titanium. However apparently they can't confirm fitment so will probably hit an Invidia instead

 

Oh and anecdotally supposedly swapping up pipes reduces spool?

[GDB exhaust into GC8 + up pipe upgrade]

Hi team, still learning Subarus and I keep getting conflicting info from google searches/NASIOC/US based results. I wanted to know if a GDB exhaust will fit in a GC8? Specifically this one https://www.redlineperformance.co.nz/product/impreza-gdb-exhaust-titanium/ and I'm guessing no length difference between coupe and sedan correct? Apparently it works mostly but no mention of what doesn't work?

 

Second question. Is it worth upgrading the up pipe in a MY97 STi? Again conflicting results between those claiming (I'm assuming butt dyno/placebo) performance gains vs more lag and numbers that don't stack up. 

 

I'm not aiming for uber power, will just want to max out stock gear, yellow top injectors and a Link. Thanks!

New gearknob to replace the stock lightweight one.
