I don't know how common knowledge this is, but I know this works on the 94-99 celica gt's. Cheap front brake upgrade is some gt rotors and brackets, and es300 dual piston calipers they'll bolt up to stock gt brackets, use stock gt pads and fit under 15s. I did it on my old 94 for about 40 bucks.

Clocking torsion bars (Gen 2)

Well I completely missed the question from last July, but when I did this I used a rubber mallet and persuaded them off. Don't be alarmed if one or both of them come out of the inner side instead of outer, it will still accomplish the same result, just for the sake of not having to do it multiple times make some reference marks on the tube and swing are for this event. -
The axles are exactly the same, front and rear, they're also interchangeable side to side. Save the side skirts and rear lip, someone will buy them if not here on one of the many legacy dedicated sites such as sl-i.net or legacygt.com, the hood is commonly sought after, as well as the front bumper, it's support and fog lights, as well as the rear spoiler and woodgrain interior pieces.

Removing the spacers is an extensive procedure, but removing them will give you better clearance when lowered. Better info can be found on sl-i.net than legacygt.com, most of the info on lgt was copied from SLi when a member was banned, and much of it has been updated or improved upon since. If you venture into removing the "body lift" some of your parts must be replaced with standard legacy/impreza items, such as all the bolts, rear trailing arm brackets, transmission crossmember, and driveshaft carrier bearing. The good news is that you can surely sell them to someone lifting a regular legacy or impreza and recoup some of your investment.

Yes, quite a few people have ran this combo. The best part of it is you can use 04-06 sti headgaskets to get rid of the failure prone ej25d headgaskets. One of my friends in PA has just put one together and he is very pleased with the motor, fuel economy is improved slightly by the compression bump when you drive nicely, and the power output is definitely better. I have built one for a local friend with a 97 gt, just waiting for consistent good weather to drop it in. And have a sohc shortblock I'm rebuilding for myself with the same build in mind. And honestly I'll probably build another for my nephew's Impreza he just bought if he proves he can take car of it lol
