32ford Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 why not go crossbred http://www.crossbredperformance.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Because it would have to be imported to the US. Too much $ for shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32ford Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 The us dollar seems strong compared to aussie dollar, and these kits are good quality.(I will get one when I have the dollars), anyway its another option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcap Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 The us dollar seems strong compared to aussie dollar, and these kits are good quality.(I will get one when I have the dollars), anyway its another option.

King of Poop Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 here is what he sent me "My kits retail in Australia for $1100.00AUS plus post and i require a set of front lower control arms and a set of rear NON ABS Legacy or Impreza backing plates exchange. I am however prepared to offer you the same as i have offered other people in America. Postage to America last time i sent a kit over was i think about $260.00 AUS. I will sell you a kit for $1000.00 AUS plus $200.00 AUS postage with no exchanges, so that is $1300.00 AUS posted and no exchanges needed. Let me know if that suits and we can go from there. Jeff PS I would love to get a few more kits into the States" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durania Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I put a deposit down on a 2003 bugeye so I may be out of the oldies soon I'll miss her though I support this decision. You say your wanting WRX wheels and brembos, STi brembos I assume. I fail to see the reason for wanting such a high performance braking system on a loyale. Have you checked the price of brembos, better yet pads for them? I would take the money you are about to drop for a 5 lug kit from Australia and put a good deposit down on the bugeye. You will already have the WRX wheels and dual piston front calipers so that way your already ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Man another 5-lug swap thread????? I'm finally getting tired of posting up info every couple months. First off, getting a crossbreed kit would be awesome, IF we lived in Australia. Not dissin on the aussie guys but they have the kit down there for a reason. They can't get parts at all unless they get shipped from the US or so. Now, search. I've posted up numerous times, info on the 5-lug conversion. i've done many, done it many different ways and know of many other things to do, such as brembos, suspension and whatnot.
