Upgrading 2008 Impreza headlights

Have purchased a pair of Lucas 200% Brighter HID D2S Headlight Bulb.
Paid for fitting also (no local garage and I stopped grubbing under my bonnet 20 years ago). It's a 15mile round trip in traffic; planning to go early tomorrow morning. Will let you know after a road test tomorrow night,
Thanks for your advice.

07 WRX 6-speed swap

Aye thanks for the response, yeah i was trying to avoid changing all hubs and everything but might have to consider it if i can find a set. And yeah I was gonna look into getting closed deck conversion. I have got slightly improved brakes but yeah you got any recommendations for these? Thanks

07 WRX 6-speed swap

Should be fun, make sure you get proper supporting mods or it wont last long (oil cooler, front mount etc etc etc), also worth having the block closed decked for longevity.
Have a look here, https://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/22371-2007-sti-limited/ mines a forged closed deck 2.5.
As far as drive train, I've not had a new age wrx to sti swap, but I did have my old type R converted from a 5 speed to a 6 speed, im not 100% sure its the same unfortunately, but was a bit of a pain as its not as simple as just swapping the diff, drive shafts are different (male/female) , propshaft is a different length, need to double check ratios match. By the time you've done all the drive shafts etc may as well just get a full setup (don't forget bolt pattern may be different)
Other thing is i would very very strongly advise you upgrade the brakes before you even think about cranking up the power (if you haven't already of course), the standard 4 pots are just not up to running that sort of level of power. I had a 400bhp hawk wrx on the standard 4 pots and they were, um yeah sketchy haha

WRX Hatchback 07

Need to check out the clutch system, It hydraulic so a few components that could be causing issues.
If that could be its either heavier than your used to (subarus do tend to have heavier clutches) or may be the clutch itself, could have an aftermarket clutch, some can be heavy especially if they are heavier duty.
