Basically, early Spec C's came in two flavours;

1. 16" steel wheels, DCCD, STI 4-pot front/ 2-pot rear brakes, no ABS.

2. 17" alloy wheels, no DCCD, Brembo 4/2-pot brakes, ABS.

Later (v8 > ?) Subaru were smart enough to integrate DCCD with ABS.

And of course with an extensive option list available you often come across cars with a mix of performance and luxury options.

Eg. a Spec C with airbags, aircon, Brembos but windup windows.

this is a more like option 1

sti 4 pots and 2 pots back...

but its a ver8 ( or unless its been converted)

it just wierd seeing a sti spec c without the brembo.

thanks

Wait 'til you see one on steelies.

;D

Here's some rare pix of a stock v8 Spec C; no alloys, no Brembos, no STI seats.

Strictly barebones.

not even a cd player... that is wrong! probably no speakers either

who cares if your gonna gut the interior anyway and chuck in a roll-cage and rally gear? I guess thats the point. I know evo's came with really basic options to bring down the bare-bone's price for rally use.

It's just the manufacturer supplying a complete car except all the bits you'll bin anyway are just crap.

[newsuba]

Exactly.

Spec C is the homologation special so it doesn't need fancy wheels or seats etc.

The roaduser can add those things by going through the extensive options list.

Brembos brakes are good. however.........

the 16" spec c model was built to be used as a group n car for gravel rallying. the 16" has the 4 pot front and 2 pot rear subaru calliper, which will fit the 15"gravel wheels. Brembo's wont clear.

however the ver10 spec c should all have factory brembos (both winger cars were this model, both of those being eventually owned by Richard Mason and are Group N spec), as the group n homologated brake kit is a new feature for group n cars ver10 onwards. this kit is a AP RAcing STI kit , big chequebok stuff. the sort of kit you can go a season on the same rotors.
