Brakes
Wotcha and welcome - might be a simple fix before going the whole hog, flush with 5.1 replace brake lines with braided alternatives? But what are the symptoms, are you looking for disc & pad replacement or calipers as well? Here are some off the shelf options http://scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=37_494&osCsid=q3djm63omgu3vuv30hc9ui6pk4

wheel issue on 08 wrx
How did you get on?? Had a thought - is there a significant weight increase with the 18 inch alloys over the 17's? some aftermarket alloy and wheel combinations can be heavier than the originals?

Induction kit. To or not to that's the question
On its own I wouldnt bother - spend your money elsewhere. Most recent example is here - going back to a standard box removed the hesitation experienced with an induction kit

I use a dremmel and the plastic brushes instead of the metal ones - saves on the elbow grease

Upgrades for an Outback
Wotcha and welcome - as above due to it being N/A big power wont be something to go for but as Stants said plus look at a high flow panel filter with a freer flowing exhaust (sport cat) then a remap - this wont give massive bhp but will ensure your engine is running at its optimum so best mpg etc will be possible

what your thoughts on spoilers
Not a fan of the evo vortex roof spoiler I prefer the high line roof blade option, like the big spoiler on boot lid though High line roof blade example http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Carbon-Fiber-Roof-Spoiler-For-Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STI-2002-2007-GD-GG-Racing-AT-/220497375232

Garage Recommendation Please
As above - what are the indications you need the valves clearances checking adjusting?

Whats best turbo
Matts guidance is almost correct follow most of what he said but look at the turbo itself - it is stamped / cast on the housing

wheel issue on 08 wrx
hmm no, profile size matches with what I ran although I had 245's on the 18's, that shouldn't affect it though

Check your Impreza subframe
Yup this is an issue with keeping the lower panels in place, water sits there and rots the subframes. Fortunately it is a reasonably straightforward job to repair / repaint or replace the units

spoiler risers
I'm with Stants - remove it and get a lip spoiler - not keen on that particular style of spoiler risers or not. But that is just my opinion
