List is: Prodrive GT1 Wheels Invidia N1 Street Exhaust KSport/D2 8 Pot Kit Rear Discs and Pads Stage 3 Handling Kit HKS SSQV Carbon Spoiler Carbon Splitter Carbon bonnet scoop insert Remap Injen Decat What would you guys do? I really want the wheels so thats a must but what else should I go for??

KSport Big Brake Kits
This is what I thought?! I spoke to Subaru4You and they rate them but Sumo Power has told me to stay away from them. I dont want to spend £1k on brakes if they are rubbish!

KSport Big Brake Kits
I am getting mixed reviews on KSport brake kits. Has anyone on here ever used them on a WRX? I am looking to change the nasty 2 pots and these seemed pretty reasonable however if they are pants I wont bother getting them!

So after almost 6 years of ownership my Imp aka Hilda has been painted! The colour is Aquarious Blue and is a Hillman (and this shells) original colour. Its going to look fantastic with the gold minilites and carbon bib spoiler!

Timmy's WRX Hatch
Going for the resonated as the reviews on the non-resonated are not so good and makes driving unbearable!

Which Exhaust?? WRX Hatch
Looks like the Invidia N1 "Street" is going to be the chosen one. This is resonated and if I dont change the CAT i should be fine with the tone.

Cobra Decat Subaru4You Remap HKS SSQ (with purple insert) Wheels/Suspension/Brakes: Prodrive GT1 (Gold) alloy wheels Performance Handling Pach Stage 3 (Whiteline ARB's/BC Coilovers) K Sport 6pot front brake upgrade Exterior: Zunsport Grille (Black) top and bottom Carbon splitter Carbon fin spoiler STI Style spoiler Anyway enjoy!

Which Exhaust?? WRX Hatch
Tarmac Sportz seem to be able to get hold of them and at £611 inc delivery doesnt seem too bad however i have heard mix reviews about them mainly being way too loud! As this is my daily I dont want to get something that is going to make driving unbearable on long distances but I want one to bring out the roar. The cheapest system is the Cobra but the videos on YouTube are dreadful and you cant get an idea of the sound.

Which Exhaust?? WRX Hatch
I am looking to bin the old tired exhaust currently on my car and I have no idea which system to go for. I have been looking at these: Invidia N1 Race Invidia N1 Street Hayward & Scott. I dont want it too loud as its my daily and spend upto 1 hour driving but i want something to release that special Subaru burble. What would people recommend?
