Haven't thought of Brides yet - must check their line. Initially I planned to put Prodrive seat (made by Sparco) combined with Prodrive JDM harness.

Seat:


Harness:


...and to compliment it, Prodrive wheel:


Can't help it, I am just a big fan of Prodrive accessories

Takatas are really nice but I don't like green

First time I see them in a car, looks great IMO. No issue with fitment, I only weigh 65kg

After having them for some time, would you recommend them? Do you think they hold well enough compared to factory? How do they work with standard seatbelts?

Finally got proper brakes:



With Whiteline parts already in, my WRX is a completely different car to handle. No more understeer (at least not that much as stock), easier to induce oversteer, much stiffer and responsive.

Nice looking car! Just out of interest though if you were going to put all those STI bits on, why didn't you just buy one in the first place?

Answer is very simple: I could not afford one at that time.
As for parts: I had to have an STi wing - impreza does not look (for me) like impreza without it. Interior - my wife wanted blue, I would have bought something actually useful
